I have helped inventors of packaging technology apply for and be granted a variety of patents. You can search some of those granted patents here. A couple of examples of packaging products I helped to patent include patent #8277037, a device for printing product packaging or labels out of heat-shrink tubing, and patent #8087220, a shrink-wrapping machine.
As usual, an engineering background (like mine) is useful. To understand the packaging device you’ve created, one needs to understand the product(s) it’s applicable to, the materials you’re working with, the inefficiences you’re trying to eliminate or reduce, the complexities of storing or shipping your product, competitors’ prior art, and much more. It’s crucial that your patent attorney understand the inner workings of your invention before you sink any more money into further development, production, and marketing. The earlier we zero in on exactly what is unique about your device or product, the sooner you can protect those unique elements and profit from them.
Do you have an idea for packaging technology of any kind – one that you’d like to patent? If so, would you like to pursue a patent for it, or do you have an existing patent that you need like to defend or prosecute? Contact me, James Yang, for a consultation. As an Orange County-based patent attorney since 2004 and an engineer before then, I can help. I work with inventors throughout Orange County, Los Angeles County, and throughout California and the US, and am confident I can help you to patent your tool or equipment.
