A road more traveled

IPParalegals began in May of 1985 as VMA Consulting, a pioneering IP services outsourcing firm founded in Santa Clara, California. With a front row seat to many astounding technological breakthroughs and scientific discoveries during the 1980s, VMA Consulting's reputation grew for its technical prowess at prosecuting IP.

By 1992, demand for VMA's expertise increased to the extent where, after four years of due diligence and planning, VMA Consulting expanded into IPParalegals in 1996. We have been growing ever since, incorporating as a partnership in November of 2010 to become today's IPParalegals, Inc.

VMA Consulting to IPParalegals, Inc... past to present ... a quarter century of incredible IP prosecution history - and counting. Here is a small sampling of momentus events that played out during our formative years:
