My experience with Novotech

My experience with Novotech, has been nothing short of exceptional. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, proficient, and dedicated. From the moment I reached out, their team demonstrated unmatched professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to protecting my ideas. Their experience a...nd strategic insights gave me complete confidence in their ability to ensure maximum protection for my intellectual property. They provided fair, clear and transparent pricing from the outset. They have always been responsive, answering my questions promptly and providing detailed updates. I can wholeheartedly recommend Novotech, without any hesitation.

A Gem for Start-Ups (Solopreneurs, First-Timers)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Babak Akhlaghi and his firm, NovoTech IP, is an absolute gem for any tech start-up company! Babak and his team exemplify friendliness, high competency, and genuine understanding, care, and support. These are exactly the qualifications you need when filing your first patent and feeling overwh...elmed by the myriad of options, decisions, and potential setbacks. Babak and NovoTech team answer any question (even the stupid ones!) promptly and with understandable details, they suggest various options professionally considering your situation, and when it comes to doing the job for you, they are top-notch. I transferred two patents from another firm to NovoTech in Q1 2024, and the patents were in terrible shape with final and non-final rejections after three years of back and forth. However, after transferring the cases, Babak and Greg helped me revive them and secured approval for one in almost three months! I truly wish I had started with them from the beginning, and I will definitely continue to work with them and recommend them to anyone in the future. Thank you!

Babak's firm did an outstanding job representing us in getting a patent

They were diligent, worked with us to understand what claims we were filing and what qualified. I felt like they actually cared about the results and not one of those other shops

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
