ABOUT
We founded Brandt Kowalski in 2018 to give inventors and brand owners the counsel their ideas deserve.
We work directly with founders, general counsel, and creative directors at technology companies, design studios, and life sciences startups between Seed and Series C. Every matter is handled by a registered patent attorney with both prosecution and litigation experience — not a rotating cast of associates supervised from a distance.
We treat every patent, trademark, and portfolio as the serious asset it is. We draft claims that hold up under examination, diligence, and litigation. We move faster than the firms we came from, charge less than they do, and answer directly to the clients whose names are on our files.

An IP portfolio is not a filing cabinet. It is the architecture a business is built on. We draft, prosecute, and defend with that in mind — the same care at the provisional stage as in the courtroom. Because the work done early decides what is possible later.
