Superb Attention to Detail

Craige and his team worked very thoroughly and efficiently to expertly draft my patent filing documents. His documentation clearly reflected his commanding grasp on the complexities and nuances of my project with great detail. It was a pleasure working with such a great team and I would highly recomm...end them to anyone looking to protect their intellectual property.

Recommend without any reservations

Mr. Thompson and another excellent patent lawyer from New York named Mr. Jason Rosenblum were the key members of the legal team that helped me with a very complex patent. Essentially Mr. Rosenblum was recommended to me as an outstanding patent lawyer by a friend who was herself a lawyer, and later Mr.... Rosenblum recommended Mr. Thompson as the right person who was going to further help me with my patent. Mr. Thompson sincerely impressed me in many respects. In my experience, he proved to be a super-professional, always using the right words, always polite, always moving the project/ my patent application in the right direction and was very understanding of the fact that I was working on a limited budget. Briefly, he listened carefully to my legal and technical concerns with a lot of patience. He gave me very valuable advice regarding the critical legal aspects of my work, but what impressed me most was his ability to also provide technical advice adding value to a fairly complicated patent. The truth is that I was hoping to get the right legal advice, but I didn't expect that the technical aspect of my work was going to improve as much as a result of his help. Part of that was to help me focus on the important aspects of my work. In the end, I do realize that most people will hire Mr. Thompson for his legal expertise and skills, and what I observed was excellence on all levels. Even during our call with the patent office, every word he said seemed to tilt the balance in my favor and helped the examiner to better understand my patent application. He helped me to make the key changes in the claims. And in the end, that's the best that a patent lawyer can do in that situation. In conclusion, it was an honor working with both Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rosenblum. They helped me a lot and they deserve a warm "Thank you! "
