Worm Gear Expert for Patent Obviousness Declaration

Job ID: 39281599

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Expert Declaration on Non-Obviousness – Electromechanical Patent (Worm Gear Micro-Motor Technology)

- Work Description :
We are seeking a highly qualified technical expert in mechanical or electromechanical engineering, with academic and/or industry credentials, to provide an expert declaration supporting a non-obviousness argument in a pending U.S. patent application currently under final rejection by the USPTO.

This declaration will be used to support a Pre-Appeal Brief before the USPTO, and potentially a subsequent Appeal to the PTAB.

- Technical Background Required:
You must have demonstrable experience in one or more of the following areas:

Design or analysis of worm gear motors (especially L-shaped configurations).

Knowledge of portable electromechanical devices, including constraints related to size, torque, and power.

Familiarity with mechanical performance parameters like torque, gear ratios, and result-effective variables.

Prior knowledge of USPTO procedures, obviousness rejections (35 U.S.C. §103), and the KSR v. Teleflex decision is a strong plus.

- What you will do:
Analyze a brief technical summary of the invention and the cited prior art.

Write and sign an independent expert declaration or technical opinion (approx. 1–2 pages) supporting the non-obviousness of the invention, especially focusing on:

Why torque was not a recognized or result-effective variable in the prior art.

Why the observed improvement in device efficiency from the worm gear motor configuration would not have been obvious to a POSITA.

(Optional) Be available to clarify your opinion if requested by the USPTO.

- Your profile must include:
✅ Advanced degree (Master’s or Ph.D.) in Mechanical, Electromechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
✅ Documented expertise in gear motors, actuator design, or miniaturized electromechanical systems.
✅ Industry or academic experience with peer-reviewed publications or patents.
✅ Excellent written English and ability to express complex concepts clearly.
✅ Absolute independence and objectivity (you will be acting as a neutral expert).

- To apply, please provide:
A brief statement explaining your technical qualifications and why you are a good fit.

A link to your LinkedIn profile, Google Scholar profile, or institutional page.

(Optional but ideal) An example of any previous expert declaration, white paper, or affidavit you’ve written.

- Important Notes:
Only applicants with clearly verifiable credentials will be considered.

The statement must be fact-based and technically sound; we are not looking for an advocate, but for an independent expert willing to provide an honest and competent technical opinion.

You must be comfortable having your name and credentials submitted as part of the official USPTO record.
