Pierson IP, PLLC

I've had nothing but positive experiences in dealing with Gene. He is honest, knowledgeable, and very down to earth. Every time I meet with Gene, I come away with not only more insight into the patent process and patents in general, but other aspects of business as well. Gene never pushed for or even hinted at proceeding in situations where he knew the chances of obtaining a patent were small (despite the fact that this meant he would not be paid), which I really appreciated. Gene patiently works with you to identify areas of your idea/concept/product/etc that are potentially patent-able. If you're looking for an intelligent, approachable, and fair Austin or Houston patent attorney / Intellectual Property lawyer, I highly recommend Gene Pierson.

Gene was a great help in finishing my patent and formulating a good set of claims. He was informed and offered helpful strategy for obtaining a strong patent for a fair price. I'd certainly recommend him. Edit: I'm just adding more to my review here. 11/18/2015 - Since first seeking help from Gene, we've continued a business relationship on various office actions and a second patent and I must say, it's great to have him handling things. He's always knowledgeable and very helpful, and he does a great job keeping up with any patent office communications and strategy. I know my initial review was already five stars, but if I could give six stars, I would. If you're needing a smart IP attorney in the Austin or Houston area making sure your IP is safe and defensible, I'd highly recommend using Gene.

This is the second time I've worked with Gene (first time was for a provisional patent, second time he registered a trademark for me). Gene never cuts corners with his work and is always transparent with his guidance. He has always had my best interest in mind. I look forward to working with Gene again soon.

I have used Gene on 4 patents so far and 2 trademarks. The experience has been amazing and very easy! Gene is easy to talk to, provides excellent advice, and is very quick on his service. I would highly recommend Gene for any patents you are pursuing.

I've worked with a hand full of lawyers over the years from general stuff to more project specific items like trademarking. Over all the years, the law and rules have always been the same, but it's that person you choose to represent you that makes all the different. Gene was 1 of 5 lawyers I contact as I needed to find local council. And out of them all, he raised above the rest with his strait forward honesty with the work he would do, his pricing and the thing that I admire most is his follow-through with his word. He would always get back with the me never left me in the dark. Happy to be on board with you Gene and looking forward to having you represent me as I continue to grow.
