Great Patent Laywyer and Advisor

Christopher is very knowledgeable about research and filing patents. When I first met with Van Dam, I had no experience or knowledge on how to proceed with my invention. Van Dam explained the process to me very clearly and was very honest about the process. He also provided great information and feed...back to help myself transition from being an inventor to an entrepreneur. I am very grateful I choose him as my lawyer to help me pursuit and accomplish my vision!

Mr. Van Dam did an excellent job for me. He is very skilled at helping with patents. I have used his services several times and I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal help with a patent.

Highly recommend!

My patent was obtained in record time. He took the time to discuss procedures. Spent a lot of time helping me with my business information, trademarks, etc. I highly recommend him.

Incredibly Competent

I was about to lose my provisional patent. Literally it was the last day to file my utility patent. With competence and skill and only one day to file a complete set of documents with the USPTO he accomplished the task. No short cuts. A clear mind with clear thinking. He filed. My receipt showed it w...as accomplished with 1 minute.34 seconds to go. Really an impossible task.

  • 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.
