Common sense is hard to find

I am Pacific Volt's CTO. I have worked with Patrick for at least 25 years, except for a short lived period of time when our new CEO wanted a "big firm" to handle our IP - which was a huge mistake. After that CEO was forced out, I went back to Pat and our IP has been exceptionally well taken care of e...ver since. In my experience Pat has an uncommon knowledge of how the patent world functions. He also has uncommonly good advice about how and where to apply your budget.

Knowledgeable

I worked with Patrick on two inventions and with his help was able to get a patent on one of them! The thing I liked about Patrick the most is his willingness to help me understand the nitty-gritty details for obtaining a patent. It can be a long, arduous and expensive process and Patrick asked me ...all along the way if it was worth it for me to keep going, offering counsel on the pros and cons of the process and explaining things I did not understand. I appreciated that very much.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Patrick brings an excellent personality to patent law. He's able to communicate in regular language which I think is important for an attorney doing such rigorous work. I look forward to referring cannabis clients to him as that area grows into patentable products (which it is!)."

Intellectual property lawyer | Jun 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Working as the only lawyer in a medium size business is a lot like being the family doctor: everyone comes to you with everything, and they expect you to handle it all. Every once in a while, however, you need to refer to a specialist. Intellectual property is one of those areas where I on occasion need help - and Pat has been our source for trademark and IP assistance for many years. He provides good, practical and cost-effective advice, and understands how business clients think. He is consistently a pleasure to work with."

"Patrick is a briliant lawyer and astute patent and Intellectual Property law practioners. He and I worked on many matters togther over the years and he is one of the very best. I knew Patrick when he was a law student and he and another law student from University of Puget Sound Law School won the National Giles RIch Moot Court competitions, a prestigious award presented by the American Intellectual Property Law Association. I have worked with and watched Patrick's career develop since he started practicing law and cannot recommend him highly enough."

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.
