Posted by Mark | March 17, 2015 | Patent Application

He was like a team captain.

I was intimidated to speak with a lawyer about an area of the law that was totally foreign to me but I needed a professional opinion of my idea and the likelihood of obtaining a patent. It was as important to me to get an assessment, as it was to learn as much as could about the process. I did not... want to drop my idea on a desk and wait for results. A friend of mine referred me to Bob. I knew at the end of our first appointment that he fit my requirements. He explained that his job is to interpret the Patent Law and apply it to my idea, so that if necessary, modifications can me made to be successful with the Patent Office. He made suggestions that gave me food for thought, including that I should consider a trademark for the name. I was very comfortable speaking with him and liked that he took the time to teach me. I left his office feeling good and knowing what I needed to do to keep rolling, what to expect, and that I made contact with a friendly lawyer that will guide me without me being intimidated. Since that appointment, he has communicated with me often to make sure we are progressing. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a patent.

My patent attorney.

Bob has been my patent attorney for years and has done a very good job, helping in ways that I didn't fully appreciate until later on. I have recommended Bob to people who have asked me for advice on patent matters after they found out that I am a successful inventor.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
