I engaged with American Patent Agency to take over a large patent portfolio for Mixbook. It was one of the best decisions we've made at the company.
The team at APA was quick to understand our technology, and the patent was issued in an incredibly short three-month time period!

Under standard USPTO examination it often takes years. With Track One prioritized examination, our clients have had patents issued in as little as two to four months — Everywhere Apparel was approved 45 days after submission and Waygo in three months. Timing always depends on the invention and the examiner.
