When I finally decided it was time to get patent protection for my idea, I went to the internet to start my search for a lawyer. I was immediately overwhelmed by the shear number of patent lawyers out there. Although, Patrick seemed to continually pop up in my searches. This was my first time getting a patent and I was looking for a lawyer who was willing to put quality time on an amateur inventors idea. Patrick seemed exceed this qualification, and upon our initial contact he was easily able to understand and conceptualize my idea. He is very easy to work with. He took the time to listen to all my questions and concerns and his feedback is incredibly insightful. I consider myself extremely lucky to have found a lawyer like Patrick to guide me through what is otherwise a rather intimidating process. Patrick also made it clear that filing a patent is only part of the process and ultimately the goal is commercialization to some degree. To this end he introduced me to his other business contacts who provided great input and expertise. They have even opened up possible avenues to commercialization. Patrick has been an incredible asset to have and I would recommend anyone who is considering patent protection to get in touch with Patrick.
