A true craftsman at his trade.

Eric has given our company invaluable legal advice. As a technology start-up, it can be challenging to know how to invest scarce company resources in IP development. Eric always provides wise advice that balances both our business and IP needs. When it comes to writing utility patent applicati...ons, there is none better than Eric. He is especially good at writing claims which pass the review of the patent office. We would highly recommend his services to other companies.

Rare Blend of Engineering, Business & Consumer Understanding with IP Expertise!

We've used Eric a number of times for work with existing hardware, end user interfaces and future products and will continue to use his services. Eric is professional, personable, extremely responsive and delivers what he promises. To us, one of the areas that makes Eric stand out from other IP attor...neys is that as we describe functionality of a new product or idea that we have, he can draw upon his engineering background to identify key IP areas that we need to strengthen. He also has a great ability to put himself in the shoes of consumer and commercial end users and help us see a complete picture. Final note to my review is that he understood time sensitivity and needs of our existing business and was able to deliver what we needed in a timely manner. I highly recommend Eric and will continue to do business with him.

Beyond Brilliant

I served as general counsel for a technology company, and we used Eric to prosecute over 60 patent applications over a span of 4 years. Eric is without question the smartest attorney I've ever had the privilege of working with. He is also ethical, honest, and extremely talented. There is simpl...y no finer patent attorney, and I give Eric my highest recommendation.

Best IP attorney ever!

I have worked with many IP attorneys with Eric earning the top spot - bar none! Eric is unique in that he brings a technical/engineering background to the table along with practical knowledge gained through writing his own IP and bringing products to market. There are very few IP attorneys that can ...claim all the above. I add that he is articulate, searchingly introspective, focused on those ever so important "small details", hard working (and understands the pressure of business timelines), and honest. The "last" being the "first" in importance to me, personally. I highly recommend Eric.

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.
