A trusted Legal Partner

Working with Kanika Radhakrishnan and the Evergreen Valley Law Group team has been an outstanding experience. From the moment we began the patent process, Kanika demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and genuine care for my invention and vision. Every step from the initial strategy to the final subm...ission was handled with precision and expertise. I especially appreciated the way the team translated my complex ideas into clear legal language and guided me through each milestone with confidence and ease. Their patience, prompt communication, and thorough explanations helped me feel empowered and protected throughout the entire process. If you’re a founder looking to safeguard your intellectual property with a legal team that truly gets it, I highly recommend Kanika and EVLG. They’ve earned my full trust and future business. Thank you again for helping me protect what I’ve worked so hard to build. – Kim Samuel Founder, Televase Inc.

Responsive, highly capable and professional

Kanika and her team took us from concept through to patent applications and office action, resulting in the full award of our first patent, with others on their way. Great communication and responsiveness to all my questions throughout the process, timely delivery and great results!

Excellent work in filing our provisional patent

We are thrilled with Kanika and her team’s work in filing our provisional software patent. When we contacted Kanika out of the blue, she was super responsive and gave us sound advice on how to proceed to file our provisional patent. She clearly outlined the process and caveats. Once we signed u...p, we sent a complex long document as our draft. They essentially rewrote it in patent legalese, reviewed it with us in a few iterations to converge quickly. They followed up to ensure timely closure and responded promptly to our questions. They ensured that our filing was of high quality. I got several patents issued in my previous role. I have to say that their reworked documents and process are top notch.

Patenty attorney

I hired Kanika's IP firm (Evergreen Law Group) for my patent. It has been long and tedious journey with USPTO and Kanika and her team supported me and helped get the patent. It is a costly and time consuming processes and she explained to me upfront about the challenges. Overall effort needed from my... side was minimal and team was able to handle all interactions and responded promptly to all USPTO requests/communications.

Wasted time and money

I was upbeat when I started working with Kanika in 2015 for my software patent. However, fast forward almost 6 years and after spending way over $10k I had to withdraw the patent application as Kanika could not successfully negotiate with the patent examiner. Action after action after action after a...ction from the examiner and her office kept sending me the examiner's action notice and invoice with no explanation whatsoever in laymen's language. Each action cost me hundreds and hundreds of dollars and somehow Kanika or her liason/office were not able to convince the examiner. I often got the impression that my patent was not being handled by Kanika personally but by some third party sub-contracted junior attorney or an intern in her office. I finally had no choice but to cut my losses and withdraw the patent application. I would not recommend Kanika for a software patent.

Dear Adarsh, Thanks for using our Firm.  Please recall that you have met with our Of Counsel who is not a junior or an intern or a third-party by any means.  Far from expressing any reservations after the meeting, you had posted a five-star review for me, and my team on UpCounsel.  As your application went through prosecution, please recall that our firm heavily discounted our service charges for Office Action responses since we were very sensitive to your situation. Our firm's success rate in obtaining patents is 82-85%.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
