An outstanding intellectual property attorney

I have worked with Bob Carlson on patent and trademark applications and examinations for more than 15 years. Our patent applications are typically biotechnology oriented. He has shown an ability to quickly and comprehensively understand the technical materials. You can expect Bob's patent appli...cations to be well written and efficiently crafted. I have worked with more than a half dozen patent attorneys over the last 25 years and Bob receives my highest marks.
