MAIN PRINCIPLES (Summary)
No hourly billing, flat-fee pricing;
Our clients are Blue Collar workers and inventors, but their IP is just as good, just as valid, and just as sellable as a PhD, hence our brand BlueCollarIP™;
Preference on inventors who can furnish us with narrated video of their invention, and confidentially submit via cloud;
Some expectations on the Inventors to be fully forthcoming, understanding how to upload video files whether .MP4 or otherwise, and understanding cloud uploads;
Preference for inventors who work both from Mobile Devices (excellent for recording video) but also work from Desktop computer. We typically need our clients to use both. At any law firm, anywhere, the inventor/client should expect to read/edit patent disclosures, including using the "track changes" feature. This "track changes" feature does not work well in a Mobile context.

Patents are complex and difficult. Many inventors struggle with giving the patent attorney the right information. There are a lot of ways to goof this up.
1) how far along is your product or service for which you are seeking patent? is it still subject to change and evolve? is it at least 70% completed?
2) have you made any $sales, and/or offers for sale?
3) can you make a video of your invention and upload it to the cloud?
can you narrate that video and explain all the ways you want your invention to work?
4) can you at least make hand-drawings or sketches of how you want it to work?
5) how are are you from $selling $units?
6) will you eventually sell on Amazon?
7) do you already have an e-commerce presence, and can you please provide that?
1) what is the specific brand (word-mark) or graphic (image-mark) for which you are seeking protection? its important that we see the specific IP you need, and all submission are kept confidential. We absolutely cannot help you unless you furnish this. No attorney or law firm can help anyone without knowing this. We do not stand to gain anything by stealing people's brands. Keeping your brand secret, is a guarantee you will never sell anything.
2) do you already have an e-commerce presence, and can you please provide that?
3) how long have you been using the brand? who is the Owner? who created the Brand?
4) do you understand about marking TM (not (R), just TM)? please do not mark (R).
5) do you understand the difference between a Descriptive (bad\unfavorable) brand, and Distinctive (favorable) brand? If not please review here.
6) will you eventually sell on Amazon?
7) are you utterly committed to a certain brand, even knowing that it may not be eligible for Federal Trademark Registration?
8) is there a way you can consider multiple brands, sub-brands, slug-lines, and other source-indicating aspects?
1) Does your company have 2 years EBITDA? If not, why not?
2) does your company at least file their own (non-personal) tax returns?
3) have you made any attempts at Crowdfunding?
4) Do you already have senior investors, such that any later capital will
be required to be used to pay off earlier investors?
5) can any such Senior Investors be made to accept that they must waive their Priority Rights?
Still deciding on the right questions, but please watch our Operating Agreement Playlist on our YouTube channel.
1) have you received a Takedown notice?
2) what is the specific band-name or brand-name for your Tribute Band?
3) are you willing to change this band-name?
4) what have you done about the takedown notice?

Initial Phone-Consult: $25 for 30min (hard-stop). Discussing complex IP topics by voice, this often doesn't work well. The "words get in the way". But some people just want to hear a live Human, not some kind of bot. We get that. We can arrange that.
The home base of FYPA PLLC is near to the Intersection of FL, GA, and AL (USA).
