What is the one thing you want people to know about QPI?
I'd like them to know that we have an inventor-friendly approach that will help inventors and creators through the patent process.
What’s the best part of your job?
I really enjoy working with inventors, learning about their inventions, and helping them to get patents.
Is there anything an inventor should prepare before contacted the patent office?
It would be a good idea to visit our website to get an idea of the patent process.
