Trademark Registration Wrong Hand Ordinance
"Impressively skilled & highly knowledgeable. He truly knows the nuances of the USPTO which has been immensely helpful. Despite the extensive research I've done on my own, there were still small details that one wouldn't expect to become pertinent. Ross, however, was well equipped to deal with such situations as well as effectively communicate them in layman's terms so that progress could continue without a hitch."
