Sokol Law Office

For the past 19 years, I have trusted Jeff to handle all our patent and trademark matters, including a patent litigation where Jeff proved validity that resulted in a permanent injunction and favorable settlement. Jeff has handled all our intellectual property matters with care and obtained strong protection for our innovations.

We dealt with Jeff for over a year and a half while he worked on our patent application, which did get granted. He did a great job and continues to do so. We highly recommend him. He is down to earth and understands mechanics. Which I feel is necessary for many patent applications.

I worked with Jeff for many years in the 1990s as J-STAR Industries’ VP of Engineering. J-STAR manufactured agricultural material handling equipment, serving the dairy and beef feedlot industries. A competitor knocked-off our largest and most successful product line, to the point of encouraging its customers to use interchangeable J-STAR parts to make quick field repairs to its silo unloaders. Multiple patents on our silo product had expired, but Jeff developed an array of evidence and expert reports to establish a product configuration trade dress strategy to stop this blatant copying. Through his expertise, we successfully litigated a jury trial and forced our competitor to change its product. Although J-STAR has since dissolved, I would not hesitate working with Jeff again on an intellectual property matter or litigation.

Pushy bully, disrepectful.
