About New York IP
Big-company patent experience, working directly for you.
New York IP is the patent practice of Kofi Aninakwa, a registered patent agent, supported by a small team. For more than ten years Kofi has drafted and prosecuted patent applications, many of them for some of the largest technology portfolios in the world. Now we bring that same work to startups, solo founders and growing companies, at a fixed price per stage.

company portfolios drafted for, including IBM, Google and Micron
clients nationwide, with an office in Midtown Manhattan
How we work, and why it’s different.
Big firms are built around billable hours and handoffs. Our practice is built around a small team led by a registered patent agent, at a price you know up front.
Fixed prices, in writing
Every stage has one flat fee, agreed before work begins. Questions along the way are never billed.
A registered agent on your claims
Every claim is drafted or reviewed by a registered patent agent, and you keep one point of contact from the first call to the granted patent.
A business lens
Kofi is earning an MBA at Wharton, so we plan filings around your product roadmap, your fundraising and what investors look for.
Confidential from day one
Your invention details stay private. After our first call we send a secure link for your files.
Ten years across hard technology.
Protecting an AI method takes a different approach from protecting a medical device. We’ve drafted in all of these fields.
Plain answers
What a registered patent agent does.
Patent agents pass the same USPTO registration exam as patent attorneys, and are licensed to prepare, file and prosecute patent applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
