I'm a USAF Veteran who has become accustomed to going above and beyond to getting the job done. I can certainly say that the staff at Bay Area IP has done just that. This is my first time at attempting this tedious process, and the staff Bay Area IP has certainly displayed a level of professional experience and comfort that is top-notch. If you're looking for a firm you can trust who can get the job done, look no further, this firm ROCKS! Again, Thank you for your service and looking forward to the next venture.

I want to give my best recommendation to Bay Area Intellectual Property Group. My invention was very hard to win - a lot of details in it, as well as a lot of similar devices, are already patented. Good thing I fell into the hands of this company. They're honest, professional, and well organized. It was always easy to contact the company - the phone always answered, and e-mails always worked without interruption. I plan to make a patent for one more device, and definitely, I'll hire the same company. Ian Shwartzman, inventor, San Bernardino, CA

The Patent process is not easy, but Bay Area IP stepped me through the process. I know I could NOT have done this on my own. They also made me think outside the box to cover all aspects of my Design & Utility Patent. The Design has been issued and awaiting on Utility. Not to mention the Legal Paper work required... not something you want to take on without their team experts :)

As a small business owner/inventor Bay Area IP was thorough and effective in getting my patent pushed through. The US Patent Office was being very difficult in approving my patent. Bay Area IP was able to overturn their initial rejection. I highly recommend using them

got the patent approval and Ariel S Bentolila did a through research and advice for my patent. The whole team team including Abby are awesome

They do excellent work for affordable prices. You have to make an extra effort to communicate with them and their different departments but the end result is great.

I can say without a doubt that Bay Area IP was the best choice for me. The other companies I worked with either did not have the technical comprehension to assist me with the correct formulation of the patent or wanted 3 times as much. To make matters worse, even though I was willing to pay three times as much (out of sheer desperation) the big firms always had some large client whose business was too close to the area of my art so, they found a conflict without even knowing how distinctly different my product/art is. I learned of Ariel from a person I met at a local makers fair who had used him for a fairly complex mechanical patent that had been granted using Ariel. I am over one year in and my patent is fairly complex. I just received my first allowance on all 9 claims. Patenting is a long and complex process and I am not out of the woods yet but I would not have been able to get this far on my own. I am grateful to Ariel and his team for getting me this far. If you are new to the USPTO process, don't expect a free and easy ride. This is a long and arduous process no matter who you hire to help. Expect to spend many many hours rethinking your definitions and drawings even if you think it is clear to you, because patent language is like mixing technical terms into a new foreign language that you have never heard before. Cons: -Office is very busy and sometimes does not explain things as clearly as would be ideal. -Email responses, procedures and forms can be can be a little cryptic at times. -Too busy and sometimes this causes a crunch for the customer leading up to deadlines. Pros: -Not a patent clearinghouse. -You will learn more about patent filing than you could on your own through the people and process at Bay Area IP. -Comprehensive searches and consulting so you don't waste your time/money. -Though they are busy and have missed some deadlines, they always made things right in the end. -Their technical breadth of knowledge is very solid. -They take the time to help you file the best patent you can and seem to realize that granted patents are the end goal, not just getting through the first filing or two. -Good value for the money. -Offer different tiers of service depending on your goals and needs. -Comprehensive forms to help you through each step. -Many more granted patents than most IP attorneys (check this for yourself on google or USPTO patent search). Summary: Although dealing with the staff and procedures can be a little clunky at times, IMO you are getting a highly knowledgeable and skilled IP attorney and staff who cares about getting you the best chances for a granted patent. I would give them 4.5 stars if that was possible.

Internationals requiring US Patent, stop here and Bay Area IP will do the rest. Very professional, very courteous and communicate all processes. Make no mistake, the USPTO is a pit full of dangers for the inexperienced. Just let Bay Area IP do the work for you at extremely competitive rates and get the right result, a Patent like I did.
