Paul L Ratcliffe

When I started my company, my old employer threatened to sue me for using an image that was too close to one he had trademarked. I hired Paul, and after some quick work, assured me that the images were not close enough, or unique enough for him to have solid legal ground to stand on. This really ca...lmed me quickly. I think his comprehensive experience in patents and trademarks allowed him to decisively set my mind at ease rapidly.

I have used Paul’s legal services for the past 7 years for both general business and patent work. In every case he has done exceptional work and given me great advice. Because he has worked in both start-ups as well as large corporations and at the USPTO, he has seen so many of the scenarios I have ...faced. In addition his network is deep and if he doesn’t know the answer he knows where to get it. Lastly, he is very fair when it comes to pricing so you won’t break your bank account. I highly recommend him!

I have used Paul for years and have found him to be an exceptional attorney that applies business first. When reviewing a patent or trademark, he always starts out the conversation with the business value proposition and then applies the legal angle. This is particularly important to me as I have a... small business and speed to market and accuracy are very important. In addition, Paul's fees are very fair.
