About Kaufhold & Dix Patent Law
Kaufhold & Dix Patent Law, which also presents itself as Project Patent, is a Burnsville, Minnesota patent and trademark practice serving inventors, small businesses, and brand owners who need help securing intellectual property. The firm’s services span patent law, including provisional and nonprovisional filings, trademark law, copyright law, and trademark-related work such as application filing, registration, and renewal. A free 30-minute consultation and a flat-fee patent model are among the ways the firm frames its initial client conversations, and its site organizes resources around patent types, fees, an IP Playbook, and a blog for visitors who want background before they call.
The practice is led by a named team that includes Sean Kaufhold, Brendan Dix, Anna Moe, Stephen Meyer, Malissa Eng, and Micah Collison, and it operates from Twin Cities offices alongside locations in Sioux Falls, Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh. That footprint suggests a firm built for clients who work remotely or across state lines, and the contact process supports it: prospective clients submit an inquiry describing whether they need patent protection, trademark registration, copyright assistance, licensing help, or help responding to infringement, then schedule an appointment. A contact form, email address, and phone line are all published.
Review feedback is consistent and specific. Customers describe being walked through the patent process from a starting point of no prior knowledge and coming away with issued patents, including utility patents. Trademark clients single out the firm’s trademark attorney for thorough, fast filings and clear explanations of what an application requires. Speed of response, friendliness, and the ability to translate an invention into the language of a patent application come up repeatedly, as does pricing that reviewers call fair, affordable, and strong value relative to the service received. One reviewer, an attorney in tax, business, and real estate practice, describes referring intellectual property matters here rather than handling them in-house.
Several reviewers mention missing their own deadlines and the firm continuing to move the filing forward anyway, which points to a patient, hands-on working style.
The office is at 12940 Harriet Ave S Ste 260E, Burnsville, MN 55337. The listed telephone number is +1612-216-1161. The practice website is projectpatent.com.
