In addition to preparing and prosecuting patent applications in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), Gawlak Patent Law provides a range of legal services in order to aid clients in all aspects of their patent needs.

For clients who need to determine whether to file a patent application for a particular invention, Gawlak Patent Law can provide a patentability opinion based upon a thorough search of the prior art, enabling potential applicants to decide which applications to file (or not to file) given the current state of technology in the relevant field of invention. In instances where a client seeks to commercialize an invention for which patent protection is not being sought, the firm can conduct a clearance search in order to render an opinion as to whether the technology at issue can be used or sold without infringing on the patent rights of another.

Additionally, Gawlak Patent Law represents clients in other matters related to their intellectual property, including trademarks, licensing, and nondisclosure agreements, and can also represent clients in various proceedings before the USPTO, including post-grant proceedings and appeals before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.​
