Issued Patents thanks to Mr. Evans

I had gotten to the unfortunate point on two patents (different examiners) where the examiners didn't understand what I was trying to communicate. I was recommended to seek the legal advise of Mr. Evans in sorting out the patent knot I had created. I'm so very glad I did because he knew exactly what ...to do to solve my problems with the least amount of time and money. I was eventually issued both patents. I only wish I had sought out Mr. Evans patent expertise sooner - it would have saved me time and heartburn. thanks

Barcode Match invention

I invented an application which uses barcode technology in an order picking, packaging or fulfillment situation. Very specific and technical and very important for the patent attorney to understand. Steve asked great questions and spent a lot of his own time getting a good grasp on the what the app d...oes and how it works, to find the broadest and most effective way to protect the intellectual property from those who might otherwise make some minor modification and circumvent our investment and hard work.

Strategy

Steve got back to us in a timely manner and provided the insight we needed to make a decision about our IP strategy. Based upon his past experience, he was able to tell us the likely outcomes of each of the paths we were considering. That advice is invaluable.

Copy right infrinement case

Steve effectively stopped infringing company from making our copyrighted product as their own product without going for litigation.

Steve Evans Patent Attorney

Plain and simple, I could never have accomplished what I did (secure a patent) if not for Steve Evans. As a "micro" business, the capital I had available for such an endeavor was very limited. Steve worked with me while doing an extremely thorough job on my project - which is why I own the patent on ...the P2 Force!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
