ABOUT

The Law Office of Robert M. White, PLLC is a nontraditional firm with a nontraditional backstory. After all, how many attorneys do you know who entered the field through marine biology?

Hi, I’m Robert White. My clients always get a chuckle at the fact that my path to becoming their IP attorney went through the bio labs at the College of Charleston and Johns Hopkins University. While seemingly unrelated to IP on the surface, fields such as biotech very much involve regulatory affairs and IP matters associated with building groundbreaking new concepts around this type of technology.

And that’s what inspired my own big idea. I believe, as an IP attorney, that I can facilitate the development of new technologies by protecting your rights from infringement or helping you enter the market by establishing those rights from the ground up. More importantly, I believe it should be an open and affordable process that’s accessible to anyone pushing the bounds of innovation.

See, IP firms traditionally charge hundreds of dollars an hour to perform things like prior art searches and draft patent applications before charging even more to prosecute those applications. Incredibly, some out there may also skip critical steps in the process meant to prevent major issues down the road that result in wasted time, weak patents, or both. It dawned on me very quickly that many individuals may not be able to bear the costs of securing and protecting IP rights, much less notice when their representatives are cutting important corners.  

Not anymore.  I want to provide a level of transparency not often seen in our industry. I want to make myself more available to innovators like you.  I want to provide certainty in what can be an uncertain landscape.

Reach out today for reliable and affordable help with taking your idea to the next stage. I look forward to working with you.
