Leavitt Eldredge Law Firm

About Leavitt Eldredge Law Firm

Leavitt Eldredge Law Firm is an intellectual property practice with a downtown Fort Worth office at 777 Main St Ste 600 and a principal office in Arlington. The firm serves inventors, founders, and businesses across Texas and nationwide, with most matters handled by phone and email and filings made through the USPTO. Its work covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and related litigation, including TTAB proceedings. Both partners are registered patent attorneys admitted to practice before the USPTO and licensed by the State Bar of Texas.

The firm presents itself as a boutique alternative to filing services and call centers. Clients work directly with the attorney handling their matter, and the firm quotes flat fees in writing before work begins. Free consultations are available. Richard Eldredge founded the firm in 2008 after a career as a licensed professional engineer and continues to prepare technical drawings for patent applications himself. Brandon Leavitt, a published biochemist before law school, leads litigation and is admitted in all four Texas federal district courts, with experience before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Services include patent preparation and prosecution, provisional and non-provisional applications, trademark registration and enforcement, copyright registration, and intellectual property litigation. The firm also handles trademark infringement, trademark prosecution, and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceedings. For patents, the website describes starting with provisional applications, often filed within days so clients can use patent pending status while a full application is prepared, followed by USPTO prosecution that generally runs one to three years. Trademark registration is described as lasting ten years and renewable indefinitely with timely fees. Copyright registration is offered to strengthen enforcement and damage recovery for original works.

Reviews repeatedly highlight responsiveness, professionalism, and clear communication. Many clients mention successful patent or trademark outcomes, help responding to USPTO office actions, and appreciation for working directly with attorneys and staff. Praise also appears for timely filings, competitive or reasonable fees, and guidance that makes the patent process easier to understand. A smaller set of reviews describes delays, communication gaps, or matters requiring repeated follow-up, including one account of waiting on application changes and another involving a challenge that had not progressed as expected. Overall, the firm is positioned for clients seeking a boutique IP practice with attorney-led service, written flat-fee quotes, and nationwide filing capability from Texas.
