Document:
Steven Rinehart is a registered Virginia patent attorney who prepares, prosecutes, secures and enforces patents and other intellectual property rights. He obtained his Juris Doctorate from the the University of Utah College of Law in 2003, and studied Computer Science, Naval Science and English as an undergraduate before getting his degree from Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah. Before becoming a lawyer, Steve started and sold several Internet companies. He loves the virtual frontier, from coding trends to SEO, and cases involving the same. Steve specializes in patent law (also handling cyberlaw matters), and regularly files patents on improved mechanical devices. Steve has been featured in the ECT News and Associated Press, is the founder of www.theopticon.com, a free legal file exchange for attorneys and non-attorneys alike. Steven is of counsel with Anderson Call & Wilkinson. Steven is also a licensed in attorney in the state of Utah.
I work in association with other patent attorneys/agents with backgrounds in most of the major technical arts. I write, and have written, patents for many well-respected companies including IBM. I also regularly file patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as the U.S. Receiving Office under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). I can also help you handle litigation matters, including patent infringement lawsuits, trademark opposition proceedings, and ICANN UDRP domain name disputes. Whatever your IP needs, I can offer you expeditious and competent representation -- and can arrange to communicate with you in your native language if you live abroad. I am available to clients anytime, including days, nights and weekends, and may be able to offer clients better rates on patent preparation and prosecution, as well as domain name disputes, than local attorneys.
