Bromberg & Sunstein has an outstanding record of important wins for our technology and life sciences clients through litigation, patent prosecution, IP portfolio development and business transactions.
We recently took advantage of the new accelerated examination procedure at the Patent and Trademark Office in obtaining Patent No. 7,337,705 for our clients Laura Catena and Elissa Hambrecht. Just five months after filing their application, we received a Notice of Allowance. Their patent describes a new invention for preparing and consuming a beverage, which is distinct from the common French press coffee brewing device. The invention allows enthusiasts of yerba mate and other brewed drinks to make their beverage in a single cup. In the typical French press, one pours hot water over coffee grounds, letting the coffee brew for a few minutes, and then pushes a sieve plunger to the bottom of the press to separate the brewed coffee from the coffee grounds. The coffee must then be poured into a separate cup. In Ms. Catena and Ms. Hambrecht's invention, the plunger may be a straw. The straw has holes above the sieve so that only filtered brewed beverage (whether coffee, tea or other herbal drink) is consumed through the straw. Thus, mate drinkers, for example, can brew the beverage, then consume it in traditional fashion through a straw without missing a beat. |
