About A Patent Lawyer LLC

A Patent Lawyer LLC is a patent law practice based in Dayton, Ohio, with a mailing address in Miamisburg and a service presence that also extends to Atlanta, Georgia. The firm helps inventors, authors, and businesses protect products, services, and brands through patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Led by R. William Graham, the practice presents a focused, strategic approach to securing and managing intellectual property with clarity and confidence. Clients can pursue patent protection for new inventions, copyright registration for original creative works, and federal trademark registration for names, logos, slogans, and other brand identifiers. The website explains that patents are granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and generally last 20 years from the filing date when maintenance fees are paid. Trademarks help distinguish goods and services in the marketplace, while copyright registration establishes ownership and supports enforcement.

The firm lists trademark appeals, international trademark applications, trademark counseling, and trademark litigation among its trademark-related services. International trademark applications start at $1,000 plus additional government fees per country and class of goods. On the patent side, the website notes that patentability searches are performed on an hourly basis and that basic utility application preparation fees typically range from $5,000 to $7,000, exclusive of government fees. More complex and international filings are more expensive, with costs varying by the number of countries involved. Trademark filings typically start at $675 for one class, including a government fee. Copyright application preparation is handled hourly, exclusive of government fees.

The practice holds a 4.8 rating across nine reviews, with most submitted ratings at five stars. Written comments repeatedly praise R. William Graham for availability, follow-up, and keeping clients informed through the patent process. One reviewer credited him with strong research and follow-up on a patent matter. Another described hiring him for patent work and then returning for trademark registrations, citing great service and follow-up. A longer comment noted that a patent process took three years because of COVID-related delays, but the client felt updated and never forgotten. Overall, the firm appears suited to individuals and small businesses seeking direct, communicative guidance on U.S. and international intellectual property filings.
