Dr. Demchick has met the rigorous requirements to be admitted to practice in patent matters before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). These requirements included passing the patent bar examination.

Proper handling of patent applications and related matters requires the unusual combination of technical and legal knowledge.
