Patent mail splits the owner from counsel
When a patent note arrives after hours, the claim summary and the counsel question get lost if they share one inbox. The owner should reach owners@, and outside counsel should reach counsel@. patents@ can take the routing note. The page does not explain the invention. Motus does not give legal advice and does not issue a legal opinion.
An owner and counsel need two doors
The owner writes about a claim the firm already represents, or about whether the desk can see a file the owner controls. That note belongs at owners@. Outside counsel writes about a review the firm already expects from counsel. That note belongs at counsel@. One shared inbox puts a privilege question in the same pile as a scheduling note, and the wrong person may open it.
patents@ is the routing address, not a place to paste an invention. The page should say what each mailbox accepts in one line, and what none of them accept: a request that Motus interpret a claim. Motus does not give legal advice. The firm and its counsel do that work. The website only makes the doors obvious.
The page does not explain the invention
Do not describe how an invention works, what a claim covers, or whether a claim is valid. A reader will treat those sentences as legal advice. The public page can name the desk, the owner path, and the counsel path. It can say the firm already handles patent matters for its clients. It cannot teach the invention or stand in for counsel.
An owner who wants the firm to see a claim sends the file to owners@ under the process the firm already uses. Counsel reviewing that file uses counsel@. Neither address invites Motus to draft or opine. If a short description appears, the firm writes it, and even then it should not read like an opinion on validity.
What gets lost in a single patent inbox
After hours, a counsel deadline and an owner question about a claim land together. If the mailboxes are unlabeled, the deadline is what gets lost. The page should state, in hours the firm actually keeps, who reads counsel@ and who reads owners@. Motus will not invent an office or a city. The firm supplies the hours it wants printed.
A visitor asking for a legal opinion should see a direct refusal. Motus does not give legal advice, does not tell an owner whether a claim will survive, and does not replace counsel. counsel@ is the firm's door for outside counsel the firm already works with. It is not a hotline this studio answers with an opinion.
Growth fits a patent desk that must separate owners@ from counsel@ so a claim note is not opened as if it were legal advice from Motus.
Motus does not provide the specialist service in the headline. We publish the site and connect the email.

Questions
- Where should a patent owner send a claim note?
- To owners@. Outside counsel writes counsel@. patents@ is only the routing note. The page does not explain the invention. Motus does not give legal advice and does not issue a legal opinion about any claim.
- Does Motus give legal advice on a patent claim?
- No. Motus does not give legal advice and does not publish a legal opinion. Counsel for the firm uses counsel@. The owner uses owners@. The website shows those doors. It does not explain how an invention works or whether a claim is valid.
- Why must counsel and the owner use different inboxes?
- Because a counsel deadline gets lost in an owner thread, especially when the note arrives after hours. The page names counsel@ and owners@ so the two writers do not share one pile. patents@ only routes. Motus still does not give legal advice.
- What should a patent page refuse to explain?
- The invention, the scope of a claim, and any legal opinion. Motus does not give legal advice. The firm and its counsel handle the substance. The page shows owners@, counsel@, and patents@, and it stops there.
