How Kathy Helps Clients

With over 20 years of experience, Kathy is a highly productive self-starter who extensively handles all aspects of U.S., foreign, and international applications, which includes preparing and filing applications, preparing and filing responses to office actions, handling post-registration maintenance requests, and responding to post-registration office actions.

Through these experiences, Kathy has honed her ability to work in a fast-paced environment while meeting high-pressured deadlines.
