Situated in Sydney's CBD, Molins & Co. is uniquely qualified to directly lodge US patents as well as Australian patents. This can significantly reduce the cost and increase the quality of your US patents.

If you are using any other firm in Australia, your US patents are obtained through a US associate firm that is instructed by your local patent attorney. This has two drawbacks.

First, the quality of the final product often suffers because your local practitioner is not fluent in the rules and practices which deliver successful outcomes in the US. Rarely does the US associate challenge or question the attorney that sends him the work. He sees his job as following instructions and relies on the practitioner that supplies him with work. Nor will the US Patent Office question weak or narrow claims unless they are fatally defective. The end result is a second rate patent.

The second drawback is cost. The US associates charge hefty fees, in US dollars. In most instances these fees are "marked-up". Even when the mark-ups are justifiable, the end result is an unnecessarily large invoice. By eliminating the US associate, we can slash your US patent costs.

Even if your US patent applications are still pending and not granted, we can intervene, effortlessly, to deliver quality and cost reductions. The choice is yours.
