Clifford D. Hyra

Hyra IP delivers "the goods." Clifford Hyra communicates effectively and respects the budget, carefully and expeditiously explaining both nuanced legal and total cost ramifications of key decisions. Exactly the type of service that most intellectual property owners require to navigate the USPTO and... successfully secure legal protections. If Cliff doesn't know the answer to your application question straight away, it's probably an hour--or at most a few days--to resolution. You need only to ask. (And believe, there can often be much to ask.) Hyra IP succeeded in prosecuting all three of our, at times challenging and unusual, U.S. Trademark applications from filing date through to issuance. Throughout we were impressed and very, very glad at many a fork in the road that Cliff was there to advise. Like a light illuminating the paths as far ahead as possible, Cliff reliably showed to where each alternative might lead. I consistently felt as though we were making the most informed and well reasoned decision. The result: we have Hyra IP's services to thank for helping us chart what we feel to have been the absolute best course for our IP protection strategy! As such, to those like us who have a lot invested in their intellectual property, Hyra IP represents an honest deal at any rate--and there are certainly much costlier means to apply that would not have improved the outcome at all. We actually lucked out and found Hyra IP through the Internet. Ours is a small non-profit concern. Having attorney relatives and acquaintances whom to draw on, but never having used the services of an outside attorney before much less relying on the Internet as a tool to research and find one, we were quite frankly amazed by the care and practical knowledge brought to bear by Cliff Hyra's services. After a bad multi-year experience involving reliance on much advice from a do-it-yourself patent book, we independently made a wise decision to resign ourselves to the narrower legal protections afforded by trademarks for our precious, if somewhat amorphous (digital), intellectual property. However, we didn't want to repeat our previous costly mistakes with The Office by attempting in-house again what looked to be a more straightforward (though nonetheless winding) trademark application process. We grudgingly "put the pennies in the jar" for an attorney. All the while our fear was potentially throwing more good time and money after bad or, perhaps worse, receiving bad advice to continue fighting either for a cause relatively lost to begin with from a legal point of view, or for protections themselves perhaps quite altogether meaningless and so not worth the while nor in our best interests to continue pursuing. Then we found Hyra IP. One year and three trademark issuances later, I now believe that had we known about Clifford Hyra's services even sooner, so much worry would have been eased early-on! Truthfully, he also helped restore our faith in the system. Thank you, thank you, Cliff. Job well done. We highly recommended hiring and utilizing Hyra IP for prosecution of U.S. Trademark applications.
