Legacy Patents is a boutique patent practice founded by Lauren Edwards-Williams, a USPTO-Registered Patent Agent with more than a decade of experience in the patent field.
Lauren's work spans the patent process from prior art searching and patentability research through patent application drafting and prosecution before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Before founding Legacy Patents, much of her career was spent supporting patent attorneys, patent agents, intellectual property practices, companies, and inventors across a wide range of technologies.
She founded Legacy Patents to create a more personal approach to patent practice, one where inventors have direct, one-on-one access to the registered practitioner actually handling their work.
Today, Lauren works with independent inventors, entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses throughout the United States, as well as foreign-domiciled inventors and companies seeking U.S. patent protection.
