Review Basil Angelo

Exceptional IP lawyer

Posted by

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.

After having our first face to face meeting with Basil, my business partner and I knew we picked the right patent attorney. We came to Basil with a knew idea, and he was quickly able to grasp and understand our vision. He offered insights and suggestions, and we walked away from that meeting ready to hire him. A few months after our first meeting, Basil filed a provisional patent for us. He was very thorough, and kept us informed throughout the process. Once we were able to articulate our true unique invention, he then filed our patent application. We were under a very tight deadline, and Basil worked long hours to get the application filed just under the deadline. My business partner and I were extremely please with Basil's professionalism, hard work, and frankly the partnership we have with him. We truly believe he will be trusted asset to our team, as we launch our new venture.

IP Attorney Texas

Posted by

Basil, did a great job representing our interest. Admittingly we didn't have much experience in this space and went to him with a very broad framework. He spent a lot of time walking us through various scenarios so that we understand the process and for him to understand our product. We spent a lot of time filtering out what was unique and what we wanted to protect against potential infringement. Also what was helpful- Basil has a good a very good broad understanding of new technologies and their applications and not just from the legality perspective. This was a tremendous amount of help when technically defining and articulating the application and use cases.

Basil was helpful in my beginning of the patent approval process. I appreciated his honesty and thorough attention to my issue. I will use him again as I pursue my product idea.

Excellent IP lawyer for small firms

Posted by

Basil was referred to us by a well known large firm that had no interest in handling a product launch from a small group of entrepreneurs. The two partners very much enjoyed working with him. He is extremely transparent -- up front disclosure on hour prices with a good turnkey option available. He seemed genuinely interested in helping us save money. We started with a cost effective third party patent search that answered many of our questions. When we made the decision not to file, he was courteous and supportive, and provided valuable information of "gotchyas" to watch out for. I've done IP before, and got raked over the coals with another attorney to the tune of $30,000 that went no where. I suspect that had I used Basil, I would have saved the vast majority of that. Highly recommended.

Great Find!

Posted by

Basil did a great job. I found him online, read his background information and thought he would be a good fit for my particular patent filing. His knowledge on patent filing and patent law was thorough, and his fees were simple and straight forward. He was a tremendous help with research and completing a thoughtful and complete patent filing. Highly recommended. Very efficient and effective.

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.
