About Basil

Patent Attorney and Professional Engineer

We are a full-service intellectual property law boutique focused on the procurement, enforcement, and litigation of intellectual property rights around the world. We assist clients in patent prosecutions (both domestic and foreign), opinions of counsel, IP due diligence for sales and acquisitions, licensing, global IP portfolio management, and strategic IP counseling.

As a boutique, our singular focus is the protection of our client’s intellectual property. We provide a portfolio of professional services that are tailored specifically to the client’s actual needs. We embrace the latest technologies, including advanced analytics, to work more efficiently and streamline prosecutions. Most importantly, we treat each of our client’s businesses like our own and passionately advocate for their innovation. We serve start-ups, established companies, and Fortune 500 multi-national corporations. For those that require more assistance, we often develop such a close working relationship that our clients come to view us as virtual “in-house” IP counsel. Regardless of the size of the client’s business, we endeavor to provide sound strategies for achieving their intellectual property goals.

Unlike traditional law firms, we seek to establish a close working relationship with our clients so that we can provide the highest level of service. To that end, we offer our clients fixed-fees for most prosecution events. As such, we typically do not charge for correspondence, emails, telephone calls, meetings, photocopies, or paralegal time. This encourages our clients to engage us early and often in the decision making process regarding their important intellectual property.

We are conveniently located in the Waterway Square in the Woodlands, Texas, just 30 miles north of downtown Houston. We proudly serve clients throughout Texas and around the world. Established 2012.

Review Basil Angelo

Exceptional IP lawyer

Posted by AriSun Jun 30 2019

I hired Basil to help me with a patent for a medical device idea. Throughout the process, he was highly professional and very transparent. His cost was very reasonable. He was very good with communication and was easy to get a hold of and replied to emails immediately. Most importantly, he is really good at getting a clear understanding of the idea through extensive research and discussion. I highly recommend him. I've used IP lawyers in the past, and he's the best by far.

I would strongly recommend Basil for your patent attorney. He is highly competent, patient, and takes the time to explain the process. I will be using his services again.

Brian Wunder, Intellectual property Attorney on Sep 13, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Angelo has a superior intellect and an impeccable work ethic. While preparing for, and then trying, a difficult IP case, Mr. Angelo continually devised solutions for what seemed to be insoluble problems. His mastery of computer science and electronics was supremely helpful not only through the electronically-stored-information discovery battles, but also in the preparation of the key technical witness at trial. Mr. Angelo is a very fine, very talented attorney.

Edward Bergman, Arbitration Attorney on Apr 2, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Basil is the consumate professional who is more concerned with doing a good job for his client than collecting a big fee. He is the consumate professional with unquestionable ethics.

His advocacy skills, in addition to his intellect, provide an uncommon skill set which allows him to be the type of lawyer you would want to hire. No matter what the situation, Basil can get it done. Highly recommended.
