Review Adam Philipp

Best patent attorney I've worked with... and I've worked with a few

Posted by

I had to stop using Adam as patent counsel because of a conflict of interest. After cycling through two others, I went back to him with some different work, and thank goodness. I've seen a lot of goofy patent attorney moves but none from him. Great advice, frequent updates, and best of all, predictable pricing. Highly recommended.

AEon Law for your IP needs

Posted by

Adam and his team were great at helping us to focus on business intent so that the patent application specifically fit our needs. His team is extremely knowledgeable about technology as well as law and is invested in your business' success.

Good communication, reasonable fees

Posted by

Adam and his senior partner wrote a patent application for a biotech invention of mine. Together we came up with a claim strategy that made sense and kept things within my budget limitations. They were very quick to catch on to the concepts behind my invention, and they were excellent at explaining to me the various implications of those, with respect to patent law and claims, which I would never otherwise have understood. The process was efficient and they did a great job producing a clear and precise application, with relatively little input from me after the initial meeting.

Smart, creative, very helpful

Posted by

Adam not only prepared our intellectual property filing, he improved the ideas, and taught us a lot about protecting our IP, in the process.

Client Review

Posted by

Very good understanding of software, which is unusual in a patent lawyer.

In intellectual property law, you need a lawyer who is ready to be as creative as the client. A creative lawyer is going to find you the solutions that other lawyers ignore or just cannot see. I have known Adam for many years, through many different firms. He's always been one of the most creative and successful lawyers I know.
