The BEST!

I interviewed 6 lawyers before I landed on Jerry. The others thought squarely in the box, and wanted huge retainers before giving me an idea of what their strategy would be. Jerry was completely different. He had a lot of ideas, was very organized, compiled a list of back up strategies just in case w...e needed them, and carefully advised me on risks/rewards of each decision. I would not hesitate to retain him again. He is THE BEST!!!!

Jerry Joseph - reliable and trustworthy

I own a start-up and was looking for a patent attorney. Jerry Joseph came strongly recommended via a successful entrepreneur who is a neighbor of mine in Marblehead, MA. Having sold software for over 30 years I was most successful when I took the time to listen. Jerry made it a point to understand m...y short-term and long-term goals. In doing so he provided in depth knowledge and guidance. Having worked with Jerry for several years it always amuses me...... he treats me the same from the day we met to this very day. With sincerity, professionalism and empathy. By designing additional products I will require additional patents. My attorney is and will continue to be Jerry Joseph. Bob A

The Consummate "Intellectual Property" Attorney

In my search for a patent attorney I spoke with a number of candidates. Jerry stood out to me as the one individual who would put me, and my needs first. Jerry was very responsive to my inquiries, responding by the end of that day. When I called he returned the call, if I emailed, he responded in ...kind. If he was unclear of what I was asking in an email, he took the time to call to make certain he understood what I was asking or trying to convey to him, so that he could relate, or seek out the most up to date and pertinent information. He started with a thorough patent search. After a few days he sent me his report indicating some similar product properties he found. After discussions related to the differences he agreed that they were significant enough to move forward. Jerry will not just take you on as a client and take your money unless he feels he can be successful in helping you to attain your goals. Jerry then proceeded to draft a 'Provisional Patent Application' for me. Once he drafted an application that was more thorough than necessary for a provisional he sent me the draft for my approval. We clarified some points, and he explained that the extra considerations included, covered future possibilities that would prevent another individual from coming behind me and making minor changes and weakening my patent. Jerry could have just taken what I had developed wrote it up and left it at that. Instead, Jerry took the initiative to think ahead and strengthen my patent, present it to me, and explain how it would benefit me in the future. I doubt I could find another attorney in this area that would take the extra time and forethought to assure my success. Jerry's fees are less than other attorneys I researched. In conclusion Jerry offers a level of service that far surpasses those other firms that probably have the work done by assistants and interns. Jerry leaves his fingerprints on his service. He is personable, comprehensive, responsive and affordable. I will always return to Jerry for my 'intellectual property' needs, and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants their best chance at being successful.

Effective

Jerry helped us file for and receive a federally-registered trademark from the USPTO. We came in with some ideas, and Jerry took the time to explain options that would make the mark broader and protect our brand. It was our first time going through this kind of application, and he was able to handl...e examiner's comments and get the trademark issued. If I need any other Intellectual Property representation, we would hire Jerry again without pause. Jerry is also very personable, listens and always responds. Even with the number of clients he has, you never feel like you are just a number.
