Patton Design is responsible for the successful creation of hundreds of patents and is therefore a pioneer on the patent platform.

The first step in patenting an idea is patent analysis. Patton Design engages in intensive patent claim analysis to look at infringement patent and intellectual property (IP) data in order to ensure patent validity. In-depth analysis is conducted in an effort to understand the patent landscape and potential IP rights possibilities, involving an intensive patent search, patent valuation, and patent prior art investigation. The patent application that results from this research focuses on the most important aspects of patent analysis.

Doug Patton's work in patent development, invention, and innovation has garnished well over a hundred patents in over 20 market categories. Secretary of Commerce Gutierrez and Congressman and Chief Judiciary Jim Sensenbrenner nominated Doug to join an elite committee at the USPTO to research, analyze, and improve the U.S. patent system to make it more responsive to all business, educational, and small inventor needs. This organization, the Patent Public Advisory Committee (PPAC), has nine members representing the most prominent patent attorneys, litigators and innovators headed by the director of the USPTO, and Patton Design was key in this evolving this group.
