"Gary Oakeson recently handled a patent application for me. I was so pleased with the finished product that he produced, as well as with my working interactions with him, that I wanted to relay my sincere commendations. The concept that I hoped to protect was multi-faceted and relatively complex; it had earlier overwhelmed another, well-known patent group downtown. But Gary’s technical grasp of my proposed strategy was instantaneous and enthusiastic; indeed, he ultimately made several engineering suggestions that improved my system. He was engaged and skillfully communicative with me; he wrote clearly and well; he worked hard and fast; and his obvious grasp of the relevant legalities was both impressive and reassuring. I am now actively recommending Gary to friends and associates of mine who may need patent work, and I absolutely intend to bring him all future projects of my own. I’m delighted to have found the guy, and I think he is a credit to the law firm with which he is associated, Thorpe, North & Western. Thank you. Regards, L. R. Thorne, Ph.D."
