A great lawyer to work with
My employer hired Mr. Bi to file a patent application for my invention in 2011. Mr. Bi has been very responsive in setting up meetings and updating documents based on everybody's input.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mr. Bi on a number of matters for a wide variety of clients, ranging from simple mechanical inventions to complicated software inventions. He has excellent knowledge of software, mathematics, and other technical areas - this knowledge allows him to quickly grasp the subject matter of an invention and get into drafting an application, rather than spending (and billing for) a lot of time learning the subject area. In addition, he is a pleasure to work with, and has a solid understanding of the principles that make for a good patent application."
