John Rizvi

I hired John Rizvi to help me with obtaining a patent on an idea. He made no promise, but thought there was a go chance. I worked with one of his very qualified engineers in his office. It paid off. I got the patent I was looking for, and with his advice added more claims he recommended to make it ...even stronger. He has stayed on top of it ever since with following up on every thing needed to keep it active.

I hired Mr. Rizvi to assist me in the patent process. Mr. Rizvi and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable. They were available to answer my questions and explained the process in a manner that was easy to understand. In my opinion, the costs and fees were reasonable and the services pr...ovided were exceptional. I highly recommend Mr Rizvi to anyone who is involved in intellectual property matters.

I searched on the internet for weeks to find the best qualified patent attorney I could find. I quickly learned that not all patent professionals are the same. John's education, experience, and track record was very impressive so I made a free consultation with him. I came to John with an idea and ab...solutely no experience on how to do anything related to making it happen. Meeting with John was awesome. He made me feel very comfortable and did not talk over my head. He is very knowledgeable in his craft and he explained every little step. John's team kept me in the loop on what to do and by when to do it. They basically held my hand through the entire process. We had so many phone conferences and he always made time for me when I called. The united states patent office denied my "patent" many times. John and his awesome team fought for me and helped me through it all. It was the easiest process for me and now I have been issued the patent. Do not look any further because Gold & Rizvi is all you need. Seriously. David Retired Firefighter/EMT Skateboarder GK Knights of Columbus #

I was a client of John Rizvi, “The Patent Professor®,” and my experience has been extremely damaging—both financially and emotionally. I paid a total of $5,000 to secure work being done on my invention idea, which is entirely human-centered and not based on software or apps. Despite my clear expla...nation, the law firm began drafting a Provisional Patent Application (PPA) based on their own assumptions, attempting to frame it as an app—when my invention had nothing to do with that. Even worse, I later discovered that my confidential patent search results were shared with a third party without my consent—a serious breach of client trust and professional responsibility. When I asked for clarity about whether my invention was patentable, I was ignored for almost a week. Eventually, I was told my idea was “too abstract” unless it was tied to a system. However, I have legally recorded calls and messages where John Rizvi himself told me that my idea was patentable if we could just “get the right examiner,” and that he was “hoping to convince him.” Additionally, Joel Mesa, a former USPTO examiner working with Mr. Rizvi, promised me that my abstract idea was patentable and even told me that “no one would be able to copy it.” These promises were made despite the fact that, as both of them later admitted, they never fully understood my invention and had been drafting based on their own assumptions. I have every email, recorded call (legal in my state), and internal message saved. This was not just professional mishandling — it crossed into emotional manipulation. During our communications, Mr. Rizvi sent me a highly emotional song he claimed to have written for his late mother. He asked me to keep it a secret, saying it was personal and no one else had seen it. This request — in the middle of a professional dispute — was presented in a way that made me lower my guard and feel emotionally responsible for his pain. However, I recently discovered that he later posted the same song publicly on his Facebook page, encouraging the public to view it. This wasn’t private. It wasn’t sacred. It was a manipulative tactic to gain emotional leverage — and it worked, until the truth revealed itself. No client should be placed in that position. No professional should ever exploit their personal grief to emotionally disarm a client trying to advocate for themselves. I am now preparing legal action and sharing my experience to warn others. If you were also ignored, manipulated, misled, or had your invention misunderstood by this law firm, you are not alone. I am currently gathering others to explore class action or RICO litigation. The truth will come out. And it starts here.
