Review of Jeffrey Carl Brown an attorney based in Minneapolis
As a CEO of a biopharmaceutical company, I have had experience with both large firms with dozens of patent attorneys and most recently with Jeffrey Carl Brown, who left a large firm to work as a single individual. We have worked with Jeff in both settings. Over the last several year, Jeff has singlehandedly managed our patent portfolio. This has involved both US patents and a large number of international applications. Since his overhead is lower working as a self-employed attorney, the cost to utilize his assistance and expertise was significant reduced compared to the fees charged by his former employer. Jeff has handled all matters over this period in a skillful and timely fashion. I can, without hesitation, recommend Jeffrey Carl Brown to any individual or company (in particular, biopharmaceutical companies without in-house attorneys) seeking assistance with the writing, filing and prosecution of US and foreign patent applications.
