We can respond to deadlines that are as little as a week or a weekend away.  In the US, filing rights can expire on the first anniversary of a public display or offer to sell, and the advantage of a Provisional Patent Application can be lost one year from the filing of the provisional.  Office Actions and other notices from the USPTO can also include short, statutory times to respond, and foreign patent filing rights can expire as soon as the Invention is made public.  We can help you beat these deadlines, and can offer special procedures when the Inventor is not or will not be available in the time allowed.
