Biography
How great would it be to file a priority application and within a few months obtain a reliable search and opinion, so that you can decide to: withdraw the application and keep it secret; add disclosure to overcome the art and file an international application; modify the claims to overcome the art and file the international application; or just file the international application unchanged. Imagine how much better your international patent portfolios would look. Yea, that is what we do at Mueting Raasch Group.
