About Us

Our Promise

HULSEY PC – PATENTS & TRADEMARKS provides patent attorneys and agents who specialize in the practice of intellectual property (IP) law for all stages of business growth…startup, established and growing, national presence and international expansion.

A Patent and Trademark Firm for All Stages of Business Growth
We are known as a premier patent lawyer and IP legal advisors for technology, life sciences, and other growth enterprises. We represent companies at every stage of development, from entrepreneurial start-ups to global corporations. We understand that the U.S., our home market, represents less than five percent of the world’s population in a rapidly changing global market. Accordingly, we advise and counsel our clients with a worldwide perspective to provide them with needed IP protection for all stages of their growth.

We also serve as IP counsel to company management, boards of directors, shareholders, and in-house counsel, helping them to understand and master any situation relating to patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and related tactical and strategic challenges.

Who We Are
At HULSEY P.C. – Patents & Trademarks, we bring a rare blend of technical depth, entrepreneurial vision, and global perspective to intellectual property law. Our founder, Bill Hulsey, is more than a lawyer — he is a Naval Nuclear Engineer turned patent attorney, giving our clients an advisor with technical credibility that few competitors can match. From our offices in Austin, Tulsa, Bentonville, Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson/Madison, and Shreveport, we serve as a Southeastern and Southern U.S. platform for innovators, startups, and established companies seeking protection and growth. Unlike firms that stop at filing patents, we connect intellectual property to business strategy, funding readiness, and regional economic development, ensuring that innovation leads to impact. And with the ability to manage PCT filings and international protections across Europe, the U.K., and Asia, as well as our membership in global attorney networks, we provide seamless support for clients whose ideas and businesses know no borders.

Our Story
Bill Hulsey founded HULSEY P.C. to meet the needs of inventors, entrepreneurs, and companies that require more than legal paperwork. With a background in nuclear engineering, entrepreneurship, and decades of legal practice, he built a firm designed to bridge the gap between technical innovation and business growth. Over the years, HULSEY P.C. has grown into a multi-office firm spanning the South and Southeast, uniquely positioned to serve clients in some of the nation’s most dynamic regional economies.

Our Approach
We believe that intellectual property is more than a legal shield — it is a strategic asset. That’s why we:

• Offer fixed-fee engagements with clear up-front pricing.

• Provide startup-friendly guidance to help new ventures secure funding.

• Support mid-sized manufacturers and established businesses in building patent portfolios that protect their competitive edge.

• Deliver face-to-face service locally in each of our markets while offering the efficiency of virtual collaboration.

Global Reach
Innovation doesn’t stop at state or national borders. HULSEY P.C. is a proud member of the Association of European Attorneys (AEA) / AEA International Lawyers Network, headquartered in Berlin, connecting us with trusted attorneys in more than 80 countries. We also extend our presence into Europe through our U.K. affiliate, Hulsey IP Nexus Ltd. Together, these connections enable us to coordinate patent and trademark filings across Europe, the U.K., Asia, and beyond, giving our clients peace of mind that their intellectual property is protected wherever they do business.

Local Commitment
We are as local as any firm in the markets we serve. With active membership in Chambers of Commerce, local Bar Associations, and Better Business Bureaus in each city, we are deeply tied to the business communities of Austin, Tulsa, Bentonville, Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson/Madison, and Shreveport. Clients know they can meet with us in person, build long-term relationships, and rely on our commitment to their region’s growth.
