Why SpencePC?

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: be outstanding and offer a unique value proposition. Hourly billing creates the wrong incentive for attorneys to work longer, not smarter. Instead, we encourage alternative-fee arrangements that reward success and efficiency. By doing so, our attorneys remain focused on obtaining the best results for our clients in the most cost-efficient manner.

Our Skills

We are attorneys who specialize in intellectual property and complex litigation. We hold science, engineering, and law degrees from the nation’s top schools. Following our education, each of us received years of additional training from prestigious, top-tier law firms. Our billing model ensures we remain focused on obtaining the best results in the most cost-efficient manner.

Associations & Accolades

Patent Office Counsel

Unlike most law firms, we offer litigation-focused patent and trademark prosecution. Our prosecution attorneys work alongside our trial attorneys. This enables us to incorporate the lessons we learn in the courtroom into the strategies we employ to procure the highest-quality IP rights for our clients.

We also believe petitioners and patent owners are most effectively represented in post-grant proceedings, such as IPRs*, by trial lawyers who not only have a command of the technology at issue, but who can tailor their factual and legal arguments to specialized administrative patent judges. As a premier IP law firm, SpencePC has USPTO-registered attorneys available to serve as your lead post-grant counsel.



*An inter partes review (“IPR”) is a relatively new proceeding that allows any interested party to challenge the validity of an issued patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent Office. IPR is more akin to litigation than patent prosecution. Even though IPRs occur within the U.S. Patent Office before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, they involve motion practice, written discovery, depositions and a live adversarial hearing on the merits.
