Dennis J M Donahue III

Dennis and I have worked on multiple patent applications over the past few years. From our earliest days, he dug into our subject matter (an area he'd not worked in the past) and understood our invention well enough to recommend a wise strategy, to wait. With the Alice decision turning the software p...atent world on its head, Dennis advised a clever approach to both hold our invention's place in line but maximize our wait time until the waters became less murky. Once that took place, we were then able to move very quickly by filing a continuation application through the PTO's Track One program and its pilot First Action Interview. Dennis handled our interview with the examiner in an impressive manner, pushing where necessary to quell the examiner's objections. Shortly thereafter, we were granted our patent in an unexpectedly fast timeframe thanks to this maneuvering. The outcome would not have been possible without Dennis' guidance and counsel. I would not hesitate to recommend his IP practice to anyone.

We like many others in todays work place have a very full schedule, so when we reached out for Patent help, we knew it was very important to find someone who not only knew what they were doing on the initial application but who was honest and could support us in the future. We did many months of r...esearch looking for the right firm, as we also knew being a small business, would not always put us at the top of the list. We can not stress enough, how happy we are with Dennis and the CVL team. They are so knowledgeable, never rush any meetings or conversation and make sure we understand all our options before making any final decision. Once decisions are made and documents are completed and sent, Dennis still reaches out and lets us know when deadlines are approaching, which for me is going above and beyond any of our expectations from a Patent Law Firm. We have obtained 2 Trademarks and 1 Patent through CVL, with another one Pending. I would recommend Dennis and this team to anyone who needs help with any Patent, Trademarks or Licensing, as we will never go anywhere else. THANK YOU CVL!!
