Patent and Trademark Attorney in Williamsburg, Virginia

Peter J. Van Bergen, Patent Attorney in Williamsburg, Virginia, has been providing clients with a variety of intellectual property services for 25 years to include patent and trademark searches, patentability opinions, trademark opinions, provisional and non-provisional patent applications, responses to office actions from the Patent and Trademark Office, infringement opinions, copyright applications, licensing, and trade secret protection.  Clients include the federal government, universities, small business, and the independent inventor.

A personal note from Peter Van Bergen...
As a small firm, I offer personal attention that most larger firms cannot.  Having also invented, developed, and marketed my own patented invention, I understand the entire concept-to-development-to-marketing thought process required for a successful business venture.

I have been a registered patent attorney (Reg. No. 32178) for 25 years. From my office in Williamsburg, Virginia, I help clients from across the country with their intellectual property issues.  My client base includes both large and small entities.  From the federal government and universities to the small business and the individual inventor/entrepreneur, I design a course of action that suits YOUR needs and budget.  If you are an owner and/or innovator in your "business", I can help you protect your innovations that give you a competitive advantage.

If you are a patent law firm and have overflow work, call me for quality work in a timely fashion. Compensation can be based on an hourly rate or fixed fee. Government agency and corporate references are available.

Since 2003, I have frequently been recognized by "Virginia Business Magazine" as one of Virginia's "Legal Elite" in the field of intellectual property. Each year, attorneys achieving this honor are selected by votes cast by thousands of Virginia attorneys polled by "Virginia Business Magazine.

My background degree in electrical engineering (BSEE) was completed at Bucknell University in 1981. I received my law degree (JD) from The College of William and Mary in 1986. 

Industry experience includes management level manufacturing (General Electric Aerospace, General Electric Color TV, and apparel manufacturing). In addition, I invented, developed, patented, manufactured, and marketed S'WARMS Fingerless Mittens (U.S. Patent No. 5,172,427). Thousands were sold domestically and internationally via the television retailer QVC and nationally distributed golf catalogs.
