I have helped inventors of water-conservation and environmental technology apply for and be granted a variety of patents. You can search some of those granted patents here. A few relevant examples of products I helped to patent include patent #7651293, a method to build a concrete structure that replenishes the water in an aquifer, patent #8162563, a method to filter water as it seeps through the ground on its way to refilling an aquifer.
Here in California, any technology that helps produce renewable energy, reduce emissions, conserve water, and protect habitats is in a tough competitive landscape. There are many opportunities, but also many competitors, large and small. 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. This is where an engineering background (like mine) is especially useful.
Do you have an idea for environmental 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 product or method.
