Get in touch to build a powerful patent strategy to protect your innovation
RHS Patent Consulting is an independent patent attorney office located in Petach Tikva, Israel.
We see intellectual property as a vital component of your business model and business plan, and specialize in developing IP strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals that will protect your intellectual property from conception to patent.
Once an overall strategy has been devised, we then can work to help you prepare patents that will enable you to achieve your strategic goals – thinking strategically and writing tactically.
Richard Schultz, the founder of RHS Patent Consulting, is a licensed Israel Patent Attorney (since 2011) and U.S. Patent Agent (since 2009), and is a member of the Israel Patent Attorneys Association. Richard was raised in a small town near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After receiving an A.B. (cum laude) in chemistry from Harvard and a Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and doing post-doctoral work at Berkeley and Princeton, he immigrated to Israel.
In Israel, he served for 12 years as a member of the faculty of the Chemistry Department of Bar-Ilan University. After leaving Bar-Ilan, he worked for 17 years as a patent attorney for the firm of Dr. Eyal Bressler & Co., where his duties included client consulting and advising, drafting and prosecuting patent applications, and preparation of patentability and Freedom to Operate opinions.

We bring to the table more than 17 years of experience in drafting patent
applications in a wide variety of fields, including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and medical devices. Our goal is to think strategically by writing the application so that it will protect the invention in a way that best fits in with your business model and to write tactically by drafting the application to obtain the broadest possible protection for the invention that you actually want to protect.
Filing the initial patent application is only the first stage in the process of obtaining a patent. At some point, you will have to file a patent application in every jurisdiction in which you want protection, and you have to be prepared to receive objections and reservations from patent examiners. Because each jurisdiction has its own laws, rules, and peculiarities, you will want to rely on the services of a patent attorney with wide experience in patent prosecution in different jurisdictions and with preparation of responses to examination reports. We have wide experience in patent prosecution from filing to grant in a wide variety of jurisdictions including Israel, the U.S., Europe, China, Japan, India, and Australia.
To fully protect your IP, you may want to protect the aspects related to branding. These include design patents, which protect the ornamental (non-functional) appearance of your invention, and trademarks, which are words, phrases, or symbols that ensure that a purchaser can be confident that the source of product that he is purchasing is its original inventor. We can help you design a strategy for protecting these aspects of your invention as well, and to see you through from concept to legal protection.
Before writing the patent application, it is usually a good idea to obtain an overall picture of the relevant “prior art” (known technology that may be relevant to the patentability of your invention). We have extensive experience in performing searches of the prior art and preparing professional opinions regarding the likelihood that your invention will be considered patentable.
An important question for anyone who wishes to manufacture or market an invention in a particular jurisdiction is whether it is possible to do so without infringing an existing patent. Even if an invention is patentable, it is possible that its manufacture will infringe an existing patent. We have extensive experience in preparation of “Freedom to Operate” opinions in which the invention as you wish to market it, whether it has been patented or not, is compared with the scope of protection of existing patents owned by others, and the likelihood that manufacture or sale of your invention will infringe any existing patents is assessed.
In mergers and acquisitions, the target company’s patent portfolio is an asset whose value must be taken into consideration. We can help you in your due diligence by providing an assessment of the value of an IP portfolio.
