Legacy Patents is a boutique patent practice founded by Lauren Edwards-Williams, a USPTO-Registered Patent Agent with more than a decade of experience in the patent field.
Lauren's work spans the patent process from prior art searching and patentability research through patent application drafting and prosecution before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Before founding Legacy Patents, much of her career was spent supporting patent attorneys, patent agents, intellectual property practices, companies, and inventors across a wide range of technologies.
She founded Legacy Patents to create a more personal approach to patent practice, one where inventors have direct, one-on-one access to the registered practitioner actually handling their work.
Today, Lauren works with independent inventors, entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses throughout the United States, as well as foreign-domiciled inventors and companies seeking U.S. patent protection.

Legacy Patents has been an amazing experience. As a new inventor and completely oblivious to the IP world, coming into this was extremely scary.
Lauren Williams has helped me every step of the way throughout the patent process, living 100 miles away. She has made her schedule very flexible to fit my needs, even on one occasion when she showed up on a Sunday.
We have filed a provisional patent and now working on the non provisional. Lauren has proven herself to be an excellent patent agent. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, personable, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Lauren goes above and beyond for her clients. I am so thankful I came to Lauren for her advice and help. I highly recommend Lauren.

Since taking us as clients, Agent Lauren has simplified the USPTO's legal languages (she's fluent) and cares a whole lot more than any lawyer I've dealt with. An inventor once told me "Patents are a game of kings." Maybe that used to be true, until the Legacy firm leveled the playing field for the rest of us
