About
I am a registered patent agent authorized to practice before the USPTO (Registration #73,334). For over 25 years, I’ve helped hundreds of inventors nationwide protect their ideas, assisting with the drafting, illustrating, filing, and prosecution of more than 1,500 patent applications, including international filings.
I focus on both provisional and non-provisional applications and enjoy learning about new products and technologies every day. My clients consistently leave excellent reviews, and I work with a small team of engineers to give your invention the focused, technical attention it deserves.
If you’re ready to move your idea toward patent protection, I’d be happy to discuss your goals and next steps.

I was lucky enough to find Cynthia on Thumbtack. I have an invention and prototype I needed assistance filing a provisional patent and getting the details worked out. She was very kind and professional and helped explain the process, and what we needed to do to move forward. Her experience and professionalism are top notch, I highly recommend Lamon Patent Services!

Our experience with Cynthia has been absolutely outstanding! From the beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, direct, generous with her time, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed.
She took the time to thoroughly understand our product, patiently answered every question, and offered invaluable insight and practical guidance that gave us much greater clarity and confidence moving forward.
What impressed us most was her honesty and integrity. Rather than simply offering services, she made sure we understood our options and what would make the most sense for our business.
As two women building a new business, we especially appreciated her encouragement, generosity, and genuine support.
Cynthia is an absolute gem and exactly the kind of professional you want in your corner. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again and will absolutely be turning to her for our future patent needs.

From the start, Cynthia shines brightly. Prior to our consult, she showed that she took my product's security first and foremost. Additionally, she took the time to review the material sent to her, and while I did not hear the answers I was wanting to hear, she was thoughtful in her responses and helpful in providing alternate avenues in which I might use my product. Thank you Cynthia for your input and guidance.

Answered all my questions! I am not a patent expert, but Cynthia provided general guidance at a very, very reasonable cost. 6 out of 5 stars for sure!

Time very well spent. I received specific advice on how to make my product patentable. I will definitely return to Cynthia when I've incorporated the changes AND refer all my inventor colleagues her way. THANK YOU!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a Patent Agent I have the same intellectual property knowledge as an attorney because we pass the same registration examination. The difference is I do not have the overhead of an attorney and can therefore quote better pricing while providing an excellent service of searching, writing and filing your patent application. I also keep track of your patent with my docketing system throughout the life of your patent.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a nice conversation, get a feel for your project and how far along it is. I can then determine if you need a search, need to develop your idea more, prior to filing, or if you are ready to write and file!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have passed a 6 hour bar exam with the United States patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). I have a Bachelor degree in Biology, but have worked for over 17 years in the software arts, mechanical, telecommunications, etc.. There is not much that is not in my wheelhouse. Chemistry! Chemistry is not in my wheelhouse, lol.
