"Fantastic work, very diligent, would certainly work with again"
"I used Ms. Koneru to register several of my trademarks and it was certainly the best money I spent setting up my business and brand. She took care of everything from performing an initial search to tracking and keeping me abreast of my trademarks' status as they progressed through the registration process. Her work was thorough and extremely professional. I didn't have to lift a finger and never had to call to prompt for an update as I have has to so with so many other service providers. She was extremely knowledgable about intellectual property law and answered all of my questions in an understandable way. She also pointed out the things that I, as a laymen overlooked and I knew I was in very good hands. I highly recommend Sunita to anyone interested in her services"
