About Us

The Timberline Patent Law Group was founded in 2010 as a combination of two established practices, Farrell Patent Law PC and Lattin Patent Law PS.  Mark and Chris are excited to be partnering together to offer their clients the same great service and value with the additional depth that only a firm like Timberline Patent Law Group can offer.

The name "Timberline" captures the firm's philosophy for patent law practice.  At the timberline of a mountain the world is competitive, harsh, and unforgiving, a metaphor of sorts of the business world in which our clients exist; It's where every advantage counts and every mistake can be fatal.  Adaptability, heartiness, and strategy all play roles in surviving and thriving in these difficult environments.  Our attorneys are committed to helping our clients, from Fortune 500 companies to small start-ups and entrepreneurs, to flourish in their industries by securing protection for their valuable intellectual property.  Drawing from their years of experience at some of the most prestigious, and nationally renowned, law firms where they provided legal counsel to  industry leading companies, our attorneys are keenly aware of the importance of careful patent application drafting and assertive prosecution at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and abroad.
