Client Reviews
"James was fantastically helpful in filing our provisional patent. I spoke with several providers before deciding to work with James, and am so glad I did. He explained everything more thoroughly and clearly than the others, and his work product showed impressive attention to detail, especially for our relatively small project."
"There are many patent attorneys out of there. There are also people who are claiming to support you but they are not even registered with the USPTO. If you want to work with someone extremely competent, fast, accurate and with a great technical and law expertise then this is your choice. Personally, I recommend to skip all the other proposals and just work with this company. My experience has been working so well beyond my expectations and I consider myself lucky in finding them Will work again with them and will recommend to other people."
"I had a very important patent project with an extremely short suspense. Without James, I was hopeless. James was extremely supportive, professional, friendly, reachable, and dependable. With his great support, I was able to submit a PCT application on time. He even offered me to work extra hours late evening to meet the deadline. He is a very sincere nice guy! Thank you very much for your great service, James. I think James' expertise is software/computer hardware related patent applications. Especially if you have projects in this field, you may want to consider James!"
