In 2023, Etsy took down 1.2million Etsy Stores due to patent and trademark infringement. Can you imagine the scenario, just before the holidays, Etsy shuts down your business for patent and trademark infringement? All because you did not file a provisional patent application. Or, get a trademark for your business and logo. Or someone comes after you for IP infringement, even though you have been running your business for 3 decades, but they filed for a patent and trademark just 3 years ago. Your dreams are crushed.
There is an often-overlooked USPTO rule called "First to File..."! You have never heard of this but it's very real and you have no recourse to do anything other than shut down the business.

"I was panicking; my deadline to file my non-provisional was coming up, and I didn't know who to hire and what to expect. It was impossible to know who best to hire by Googling! The popular firms were too busy, and it's impossible to know which smaller/newer firm to trust.
Tim understands the playing field well and was able to help me understand what to expect AND connect me to an incredibly qualified and professional firm who had the bandwidth to help me out."

I had the opportunity to work with Tim at The Riesen Design Ltd. when I was working with my patent attorney preparing a U.S. Patent application, I had some working prototype parts to show Tim, however, they were not production-ready components. Tim and his firm quickly understood the overall concept and were able to not only provide patent illustrations, but they worked with me to finalize several design-specific elements. Their complete understanding of my product’s application made the final designs look professional and less like cobbled prototype components. They listened to my suggestions and were very easy and enjoyable to work with. Their work contributed to my patent getting awarded on the first review without any claims challenged. I will use them on future projects and would not hesitate to recommend them to others."
