Intent to Sole Source Casimir Jones S.C. Legal Services

The University of Montana’s Office of Research and Creative Scholarship intends to award a non‑competitive, sole‑source contract to Casimir Jones S.C. for specialized patent‑law legal services. The work includes preparing and prosecuting provisional and non‑provisional patent applications, managing the resulting patent portfolio for the life of each patent, and conducting inventorship analysis on additional disclosures. The award will be made unless a written “REQUEST TO CHALLENGE” is received by the deadline, in which case the university may consider competition. • Provide patent‑law representation before the USPTO for university inventions. • Prepare and prosecute one provisional patent and the subsequent non‑provisional patent within a year. • Ongoing portfolio management and inventorship analysis for additional disclosures. • All services must be delivered by the sole‑source vendor unless a valid challenge is submitted.
