Services

Solid technical judgment in every one of our services

From the initial classification to defending an application under objection, I cover every stage where your legal team needs outside technical judgment.

Patent and utility model filings in Colombia

I help your team correctly classify the invention — patent or utility model — and manage the full filing process before the SIC, acting as an extension of your legal team.

Drafting the descriptive specification

I draft the document that defines the real scope of protection. I work directly with the case's attorneys so the claims align with the legal strategy, not just the formal requirement.

I search international patent databases and deliver a technical novelty analysis, so your firm can advise the client with informed judgment before moving forward with an application.

Technical-legal translation of patent documents, with the precision in claim terminology that a generic translation can't guarantee.

Technical support for industrial design protection

Why work with me

I don't compete with your legal team — I complement it

My job is to understand the invention at a technical level and translate that into what your firm needs: a defensible specification, a reliable prior art report, a technical argument that backs up a response to the SIC.

I work case by case or on an ongoing basis, depending on what your firm needs. The relationship is direct with the attorney in charge — no intermediaries, no extra process.
