Allen King

Allen King spent 20 years as a development engineer at IBM — the United States' leading patent filer — where he learned firsthand how world-class patents are drafted, prosecuted, and protected.

After IBM, Allen joined a Utah-based patent law firm where he spent 15+ years drafting and prosecuting patents for inventors ranging from individual entrepreneurs to fast-growing startups.

His most memorable achievement: drafting a complete patent application in under an hour — and paying just $250 for attorney review. That experience inspired him to write Achieving Great Patents, making professional-grade patent guidance accessible to every inventor.
