About this IDV

This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to Nath & Associates PLLC, doing business as Nath Law, a boutique intellectual property law firm. The BPA, which has a ceiling value of $550,000 and an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2028, covers a wide range of patent legal assistance services, including responding to patent office actions, drafting patent applications, and managing maintenance fees for the Forest Service and other USDA agencies such as the Agricultural Research Service and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

The task orders issued against this BPA demonstrate Nath Law's role in protecting the USDA's intellectual property across various research and development initiatives related to forestry, agriculture, and environmental protection. These tasks include filing non-provisional patent applications, responding to office actions, processing annuity payments for foreign patents, and resolving inventorship issues - all in support of innovations such as AI harvesting technology, fish screens, high-value chemicals derived from wood, avian repellency strategies, sterile fruit fly techniques, and vaccine compositions. The firm's expertise spans both domestic and international patent prosecution, as evidenced by the task orders covering PCT filings and managing patent portfolios in countries like Canada, Australia, Brazil, and India.
