Services

Patent services for independent inventors.

Clear, professional support for patent applications, searches, and evaluation—so you can move forward with confidence. We handle the full process—from idea to filing to grant. Our clients appreciate our small size (two people), which means quick and personal attention, and much lower costs than those of a large firm.

product development

CAD Drawings, Prototypes, Product. 

Full, complete invention development by a licensed patent practitioner and industrial designer.

Ask for a reference from any of our happy clients.

We will manage your product from start to finish: from your idea, to patent drawings, to CAD drawings, to prototype. Use our 30+ years of experience in industrial design and prototyping to complete your product once you have patent protection. We'll connect you with product developers whom we trust and who have developed our own products.  Having designed, produced and sold our own products, we know the process inside and out. We've also guided clients (and learned from their experiences) in their products' development.

Patent Applications

Patent Prosecution

Full-service patent applications—from idea to grant.

We handle every step of the patent process: prior-art search, writing, drawing, filing and prosecution. Whether provisional, non-provisional, design or international (PCT), we guide you through the myriad requirements and fees.

Scott Keeley is a registered patent agent (#74622) with 19 years of intellectual property experience and a background in engineering and design. The USPTO recognizes both patent agents and attorneys as patent practitioners—agents perform the same work, except for court representation.

We serve clients worldwide.

Prior Art Search

Patent Searching

Professional prior-art searches that go beyond the basics.

A prior-art search identifies existing patents and publications related to your invention. While tools like Google Patents are accessible, effective searching requires method, experience, and attention to detail.

Our searches combine structured patent database research with broader web analysis to uncover relevant prior art—reducing surprises later in the process.

We’ve been conducting patent searches since 2006 and understand how to find what others often miss.

Freedom-to-Operate

Freedom-to-Operate Evaluation

Understand your risk before you build or launch.

Freedom to Operate (FTO) evaluates whether your product or process may infringe on existing patents. It’s a critical step for businesses moving toward production or commercialization.

This is a deeper research and analysis process that results in a structured report—helping you assess risk and make informed decisions before investing further.

What We Do

A more practical approach to patents

You can get AI to write something, but it won't pass examination. And like taxes, filing with the USPTO can be difficult and cumbersome.

We provide honest guidance, transparent pricing at a fraction of the big firms, and direct access to Scott Keeley, patent practitioner since 2016.

Regina and Scott are both at the top of their field and highly skilled at moving good ideas through the patent process. Both upfront and professional, there were no surprises. I knew what to expect and received excellent service the whole way through. I will certainly want Keeley DeAngelo by my side for my next patent pursuit.

Thank you for helping me protect the intellectual property that I invented. As a first-time inventor, I was unsure about pretty much everything surrounding the US Patent office; thankfully, I found Keeley DeAngelo. The guidance I received from them was critically beneficial to obtaining a patent pending status on my product. They were always willing to share their expertise with me when I had questions, always friendly and always with integrity. I highly recommend this family business to anyone seeking to protect their intellectual property, applying for any type of patent on any product big or small. From everyone at www.N95 Mask Preserver, LLC, we appreciate and thank you for your contribution to our success.

Outstanding help with some utility and design patent applications of mine in the musical instrument field. Prompt and clear communication, happy to take the time to help decipher patent land for the uninformed (me!) - will get all of my patent application business moving forward. Thanks Regina and Scott!
