Marin Cionca has a complete team of detailed oriented professionals working with him. He and his team have shown the utmost in excellent quality workmanship and alacrity. This is crucial in the patent process. They make the patent process very easy for the inventor.

My questions were always answered fully and promptly every step of the way with genuine kindness.

I highly recommend the services of Cionca law firm! We have been working with Marin for several years and filed 6 patents and 8 trademarks so far and plan to continue using his services since the work product is superlative!! Marin takes all the time we need to answer our questions and explain th...e process. A true gentleman, thank you Marin!!

CIONCA Law Group P.C. - Intellectual Property Law Pros: Honest, fair, determined, set rate, consistent contact Cons: Criminally unknown. More people need to know about this firm! By early 2011, I had just finished putting the finishing touches on my first invention. Thus I began the arduous loo...k for a patent attorney. After becoming increasingly put off by the over aggressive, suspect, and out of my price range services of other patent attorneys that I had communicated with, I stumbled, by chance, upon Cionca Law Group P.C. I was immediately impressed by Mr. Cionca's transparency and integrity. Before I had decided to hire his firm, he gave me a free consultation, something that other firms wanted several hundred dollars for, explaining the ins and outs of the patent process, his services and whether or not his firm was right for me. Not once did he ask anything specific about my patent, again something I felt suspicious about from other firms (why ask me specific details if we aren't working together?), and I really got the feeling that Mr. Cionca was looking out for my best interest regardless of whether or not I chose to hire him; he wanted me to make an informed decision. So began our working relationship. After determining that my idea didn't infringe on any other patent or upcoming patent, we began work in earnest on mine. Stating that in order to have the best chance for my patent to stand up to both my patent examiner, and anyone looking to tweak it and claim the differences as a new patent, he had me “perfect” my claims. In an almost OCD like manner, we went back and forth several times on the written claims and the drawings. With each correspondence, Mr. Cionca would have me add, change, or refine my claims or my drawings, with the aim to traverse the “sweet spot” between a too generalized claim, and a too specific one. This would culminate in a submission for approval to the USPTO in late 2011. Several years later, my patent would go to the examiner for examination. Due to some misconceptions, my patent examiner did quite understand the scope of my invention. Mr. Cionca, and Ms. Kim would fight passionately for my patent using pathos, logos, and ethos arguments. Eventually my patent examiner would concede and I was granted a patent in early 2017! Overall, my experience with Cionca Law Group P.C. was fantastic. I personally would like to thank Mr. Cionca, Ms. Kim, and anyone else directly or indirectly working on my case. I am confident that I would not have been able to acquire my patent without your specific knowledge and passion, especially considering who I had as an examiner. I look forward to working with them again on future endeavors.

Marin helped me get 4 trrademarks and a patent. First he explained the process of obtaining trademarks and patents. Then he setup a roadmap to follow and explained the possible road blocks and how to handle each objective. Very easy to work with and patient the language used by the government can ...be confusing to a lay person. Marin will explain exactly what it means and put your mind at ease. He knows the USPTO system and he will help you navigate through it. I would highly recommend Marin and look forward to working with him again!
