Does TTO have a patent attorney or do they use outside attorneys or patent agents?
Although TTO has several certified patent professionals on its staff, it retains external attorneys and agents to draft and prosecute our patent applications. This approach allows us to choose the law firms with the proper expertise that best match the need of our specific inventions that we want to patent. TTO works with a number of patent firms throughout the country and they are all pre-qualified by the General Counsel Office in the UC Office of the President.
