Ohio

The firm focuses on work conducted before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office -- on preparing, filing and prosecuting design and utility patent applications, and trademark applications to protect mechanical innovations, industrial and production processes, medical devices, and electro-mechanical devices and systems. The firm services a large number of independent inventors as well as small and large companies and corporations.

The firm was established in 1975 by its founder, David A. Burge, who earned his engineering degree with Highest Honors at the University of Illinois. His law degree was earned while doing patent work in the employ of General Electric's Patent Lawyer Training Program, beginning at Georgetown University, and concluding at the University of Louisville. David is the author of articles on patent and trademark protections, is a coauthor of the PATENTS chapter in engineering handbooks published by John Wiley & Sons, and wrote three editions of the hardback book PATENT & TRADEMARK TACTICS & PRACTICE. He has been active in bar association work, is past Chairman of the Young Lawyers Section of the Cleveland Bar Association, and also maintains active memberships in groups such as the American Intellectual Property Law Association.
