"I enjoyed working with Carlos. He was knowledgeable and timely. Great experience."
"Carlos is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. He patiently explained me the process of patenting and kept me updated through every step. He was very prompt in returning my calls. Before I engaged him, we had agreed to a deadline in filing the patent application and he beat that deadline. I would strongly recommend him and I will myself use his services for future patent filings."
"Carlos drafted a patent application related to one of our new products. He made sure he understood our invention thoroughly, and described it in great detail in the patent. Carlos walked us through the patent process, and explained his strategy to protect our invention in the way that made the most sense for our business goals. We could not be happier with the results."
