Trademark conflict

Thank you Roland for the great job that you did. You brought to bear the knowledge and skills that forced my opponent to dismiss their case. Could not have expected any better

Excellent Legal Assistance for C&D

My company was served with a cease and desist letter from another company concerned about competition. We reached out to Mr. Tong for formulating a response letter and defending against this false charge based on a misunderstanding. Mr. Tong welcomed us on a late Friday afternoon, listened to t...he facts of the situation, and provided a response in quick order. Mr. Tong represented our company excellently in resolving the C&D and ensured that our position was well represented resulting in a mutually amicable resolution between the two companies.

I wish I would have called Roland first.

I contacted Roland Tong after a bad experience with another patent attorney. I was always being put on hold by the previous attorney, and my patents kept getting pushed off for "customers with more urgent patent issues". This ended up costing me more money and more time. Once I contacted Roland he ...made it a priority to help me get my patents filed quickly and professionally. The patents were well written and well thought out. I even had him revive a patent for me that my previous attorney let go to an abandoned status. I am very glad that I contacted him. My only regret is that I did not start working with him earlier. Thank you Roland!

Stress Free Patent Application

Since the beginning, when I first contacted Roland. He made himself available for my many questions and concerns. His fees were well below others that wanted to charge by the hour. Highly recommend you call Roland.
