Strategic Business Focus

PPG’s approach has a singular focus: to secure the exclusivity that creates business opportunities. We devise strategies that leverage the best of business, law, and science to capture the fullest, most advantageous scope for each patent application.

Impeccable Credentials

With advanced degrees and bench research experience, our team of experienced lawyers, scientific advisors, and patent agents understands the science behind our clients’ discoveries, enabling us to excel at turning important innovations into revenue-producing assets. PPG is a highly- specialized boutique where scientist meets lawyer meets business advisor.

Tough, Relentless Prosecutors

We are tenacious in securing patents. If the patent office rejects a patent application, we don’t take “no” for an answer. We know how to navigate towards the broadest possible claims and stand ready and resolute to present written and oral arguments before the Patent Trial and Appeals Board.

Driven by Relationships

We value our clients’ trust and put our relationships at the forefront of our efforts. Our clients are long-standing for a reason. Our client referrals are robust for a reason. We attract leading universities, cutting-edge companies, and investors in promising startups for a reason. We don’t need a client service department; we just deliver it every day to every client – full stop.
