Craig Weiss IP Attorney

I and my family have used Craig Weiss as an attorney several times over the past 7 years for patent work and IP consultation. We will use him in the future and would highly recommend him. We have found him to be extremely knowledgable and responsive, but I think the thing that we have valued the ...most in our relationship with him has been his frank candor and collaborative style. He asks insightful questions, listens to our answers and draws on his years of experience to help us understand different ways to view what we are working on, which helps us hone our ideas.

President of Zen Gaming Inc.

For years I have entrusted in the services of the Weiss & Moi group. They have overperformed and have been one of the best law firms I have ever worked with. I am very happy to say that they have been successful at getting numerous patents issued for our group of companies.

Craig Weiss exceeded my lofty expectations at every juncture of his handling of my matter!

As an attorney, I have extremely high standards for those who handle my own legal affairs. Congratulations to Craig for exceeding my expectations and setting an even higher bar. Craig diligently handled the prosecution of my gaming patent. He is not only incredibly responsive, he is incredibly kno...wledgable. I look forward to sending him my clients who are in need of a true IP expert.

World class patent attorney

Craig Weiss is one of the most brilliant people I have ever known. I first met him several years ago when I hired him to write a patent for a new casino game I had invented. Not only did he write an airtight patent in which every single claim was approved by the US Patent Office, he also kept me in...volved in and apprised of every step of the process. He is always easy to get a hold of and is always willing to answer any questions or concerns. He has a knack for making even the most abstruse and confusing concepts easy to understand. His father, Harry Weiss, was a legend in the field of intellectual property law. Having worked for his father for years, Craig benefitted from Harry's 50+ years of IP law experience. This, combined with Craig's own very impressive body of work, give him an astounding wealth of knowledge, both legal and technical. Not only is Craig brilliant, he is also a wonderful person who truly cares about his clients best interests. I have used his services several times since that first patent application, and will continue to do so whenever I have the need. I would STRONGLY recommend him to anyone looking for a good patent attorney.
