My story
I’m Jerry Cumberledge, the founder and owner of Priority Patent Consulting. I was previously employed as a Patent Examiner for the United States Patent and Trademark Office for over nine years. After an extensive peer review process at the PTO, I was promoted to the rank of Primary Patent Examiner, which is one of the highest stations that a patent examiner can attain. While working for the USPTO, I was responsible for examining hundreds of patent applications and associated matters. I’ve also been employed for a private firm that was responsible for handling international Patent Cooperation Treaty applications. While working as an analyst, I was responsible for writing legal opinions on a vast array of technologies. It would be my pleasure to put my extensive experience examining and analyzing intellectual property matters to work for you.
