Initial Patent Application Consultation

I had an initial consultation with James to review the design of my product before expending any money to file a patent application. James gave me an objective view of the protection options and various potential/ hypothetical scenarios. He made it extremely simple and easy to understand the proces...s and the various options for filing a utility patent (provisional vs. non-provisional). James provided me with great information to complete my business plan for the product and I fully intend to use James when I proceed with the patent application filing.

Initial introduction to Mr. James Yang

Mr. Yang appeared to be very knowledgeable in the field of my interests. He was specific and articulate and did not overwhelm me with legalese. I brought several inventions to him and he showed me which ones had merit and which ones would be fruitless to pursue. He suggested the courses I must take t...o obtain patents for my ideas and showed interest in guiding me along that path. I am currently 'tweeking' one of the more original ideas, and when it gets to a presentable stage, I'll feel safe taking it to Mr. Yang for further evaluation. R. Kokol

If I could rate him at ten stars I would!

James is incredible. I am so fortunate that he was referred to me. My experience with his professional services have been top notch. His work is outstanding and the communications between us were and still are open and productive. James is genuine. I trust his ability and know that any time I work... with him he has my best interest in mind. Because of this, I would never even dream of working with any other patent attorney. I live in California and have referred him to associates in Florida. He is two thumbs up! Thank you James. You truly are the very best!

Assistance securing start-up software technology patent

My company used Jame's services to complete the process of securing a final patent for our software technology and process. James was very responsive, kept us up to date on changes and developments, and provided us with the final patent in a timely manner. James also kept the pricing of the patent ...filing consistent with what he had committed to up front. Jame's integrity in completing the patent and keeping the pricing consistent with what we were quoted was greatly appreciated.

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.
