Marcellus assisted us with U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) registration of a trademark we were seeking. He had specific knowledge of the process in its entirety, including how to properly complete the registration request for an optimal outcome, and was attentive to the details. Marcellus answered all of our questions with care and was always responsive, demonstrating good communication throughout the engagement. He has guided us through the process very smoothly and professionally, including letting us know what to expect each step of the way with the USPTO and registration process. I have felt a strong level of confidence and trust in Marcellus throughout my time working with him, and am expecting a favorable outcome in this engagement due to his expertise.

Marcellus has worked with me preparing complex, technically challenging applications covering uncommon subject matter. Prosecution can be challenging for an examiner, particularly regarding prior art references. Marcellus' guidance, office responses and overall work product are consistently good.

Title says it all and I 100% mean it. I had a problem with a client halfway across the country and had to find someone to help me with the matter. He was on the ball every step of the way and would check in by email or call me every step of the process. He was able to get me all the money I was owed plus legal fees. I wish I had Aaron in my state because I’d use him for everything. Can’t say enough good things about this man.

I have worked with John Reid for about 15 year. He has written most my patents - all were allowed. He is extremely good to work with. He kept me informed during the process of patenting my inventions. He also advised me of steps to take I was not aware of to make the patent more effective. John is also very pleasant to work with as a person. I am recommending John Reid highly.

He has worked with me to keep cost down which has been of critical importance as my funds are minimal. John's passion is Patent Law. As such, he strives to remain current with the case law as well as changes in the USPTO. Great guy!

Dee Malhotra is a top notch patent attorney. Everything he does is well researched and aimed at providing results. He is particularly knowledgeable on USPTO practice and trends. I have repeatedly called upon his excellent services to secure US patent protection for my own Canadian clients. As a client, I was always kept well informed. The work was completed on time, on budget. I recommend Dee for any IP related work whether trademarks, copyright, patents or trade secrets. His advice is clear and his thinking is strategic.

Deepak Malhotra is an outstanding patent attorney. Being a good patent attorney fundamentally requires that the attorney has a sound technical background in combination with exceptional legal skills - Deepak Malhotra possesses both of these skills which he has demonstrated on numerous occassions when he, as outside counsel, represented my previous employers. Demonstrating technical and legal savviness can make an attorney a good patent attorney, but to be an exceptional patent attorney, a good patent attorney must demonstrate that he can be relied upon by the client and provide sound advise in critical situations. Deepak is an exceptional attorney and a good human being. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. My feedback is based on over 15 years of experience in working with Deepak.

I have not had great experiences with lawyers in the past, however, Sarah made me feel like she had my back the whole time. She will take the time to learn your case and fight for you. She's incredibly detail-oriented and intelligent, while being extremely personable at the same time. I couldn't have found a better lawyer to help me out.

Sarah helped me with my contract dispute and settled the case for a 7 figure amount back to me. The case just ended 2 days ago. I am writing to tell everyone how wonderful my experience has been with her. I can not thank Sarah enough for what she did for me during the litigation. The case lasted about 10 months. She was pleasant, honest, humble, sharp, smart, organized and responsive during the whole process. Her hourly rates were low comparing her service level. She watched her emails days and nights, weekdays or weekends. One time I needed to get hold of her on a late Friday afternoon. I sent her an email. 20 minutes later she called me back. I never needed to call her. An email message was all it needed. When in litigation one really needs to have good communication with his/her counsel. I am fortunate to have her stand by me. We did not have any missteps during the litigation. I am 100% satisfied with her services. I will recommend her to anyone for services without hesitation.

In addition to John Zeimantz our company uses several other attorneys in various firms. The reason we use other law firm has to do with areas of expertise however Mr. Zeimantz works well as a jack of all trades. Of all the law firms we use his billing rates are the fairest and we find the least padding of any other lawyer our company uses from coast-to-coast. Therefore I would highly recommen John Zeimantz when looking for an attorney with integrity who will get the job done for you. Mr. Zeimantz can be a bulldog when necessary and I appreciate his aggressiveness as needed.

I was referred to this law firm & lawyer by my medical care team and a very close friend. I *highly recommend The Advocates Injury Attorneys. Very honest, caring and transparent intake process! I believe that this firm does actually care about their clients, beyond the financial piece $ They will work with you through this very difficult legal process… I rarely post or review businesses or people. I had to share this. Being a victim in a car accident turns your world upside down💔 J. Harper in Spokane, WA is a genius Lawyer. I should have called him and the Advocates much sooner!

We reached out to them to handle a traumatic experience, and they handled it with the utmost care, sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and emotional intelligence that they could they made sure to contact me and my brother every week to just do mental checks and to give us updates with our case Without them I don’t know if our case would’ve been solved as smoothly Swiftly as it was highly recommend the advocates if you have any problem, they are great and they deserve all the recognition for the great work they do.

I injured both of my arms right and left. Falling downstairs doing in home care. On the day of my mediation halfway through, my attorney admitted, he got me confused with another lady in Harrison Idaho, my last name is Harrison. As I wanted to hold out , while the mediator joked and made light of work injuries, I am right handed.My right arm doesn't work correctly, I did a lot of work in my church. I am a homemaker. I take a lot of pride in my home being a place of comfort and inviting to people, I used to bake and feed people, and so the job that I had for wages, wasn't my main job, even though I didn't bring home a salary for it. My" job" was taking care of my home and my church and my husband and serving god with my two hands. The thing I did to make money injured me, because the lady I was working for didn't let me know that her staircase ,in the spring would move when the basement flooded. It moved.I fell, I hurt my right elbow and my left wrist, and now all the things I used to do to serve God and others I cannot do any longer. None of this meant anything to my attorney at the mediation. As I kept holding out because I didn't know how I would end up the rest of my life with these 2 injuries he kept telling me dead. There was gonna be so security disability. There was gonna be a medical fund. And so this was just the first part of the mediation for my injury. I even thought I would just go to court because I thought my case was so different than so many other people At that point, my attorney didn't want to go to court. It was obvious He was not wanting to go to court to represent me, who I am. He told me scary things about, if the judge was in a bad mood, I would lose everything. He, and I am ashamed to say, my husband, with pressure from the "mediator " talked me onto taking an offer, which I knew, would not compensate me for paying people to do for me, what I had always done for myself. Gardening, lawn care, house work, cleaning the church, changing my own oil, recently I paid Ford $600.00 for changing plugs and oil in my truck. This I used to do at a fraction of the cost. But none of this was considered, I was a part time worker to them all. After that nightmare, the medical portion was to be settled, that's when I found out, I didn't have enough "points" for SSI disability, so any leverage from SSI to keep SIF accountable did not exist. My Attorney told me the day of mediation , SSI would cause pressure for SIF to cover me medically...NOT. He was incorrect and when I , out of concer, asked him if he was doing okay, he had made a few errors in my doctors name and other odd statements which didn't pertain to me, he accused me of questioning his integrity and told me I could get a different Attorney. By then I was hurting, depressed and totally vulnerable and my attorney, the one person who supposedly knows the ins and outs of the system, chewed me out and threatened me that I could "go it alone" if I thought I could do better. I couldn't make any decisions, I was so down. I didn't think the Attorney was going to take part of the medical bank. I thought he got paid for working the entire case from my mediation, so I didn't think I could pay up front for another attorney, just another thing I misunderstood when my attorney told me the medical is put in the bank, in my name and I had comple control over it. I was told it is a new way SIF and all other workers comp. In Idaho are now doing things, rather than keep a claim open for treatment. I am not pleased at all. My best intrest was not even considered. All because in the beginning my Attorney didn't ever find out and set in his mind, who I am.

Terry answers and routes people needing help to the right legal and other resources competently. Even though she communicates in a Yankee dialect that reminds me of someone from the Northeast. She might be a local, who knows. We needed help with a senior and Terry thought of all the right directions to take. I have confidence this law firm has what it takes to help you.

What an Intellectual Property Lawyer Can Do for You

An intellectual property (IP) lawyer specializes in protecting the rights related to creations of the mind, including inventions, designs, logos, brands, artistic works, and trade secrets. IP lawyers help clients secure legal rights to their intellectual property, enforce those rights, and defend against infringement claims. They can also assist with licensing agreements, negotiating royalties, and managing intellectual property portfolios.

Whether you're a business seeking to protect a trademark, an inventor patenting a new product, or an artist protecting your work from unauthorized use, an intellectual property lawyer ensures that your creations are legally safeguarded and helps you navigate the complex landscape of IP law.

When Should I Hire an Intellectual Property Lawyer?

Hiring an intellectual property lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you need to secure, protect, or defend your intellectual property rights. Key scenarios include:

  • Filing a patent: If you've invented a new product or process, a lawyer can help you apply for a patent and ensure the protection of your invention.
  • Trademarking a logo or brand name: To protect your business's brand identity, a lawyer can assist in trademarking logos, names, slogans, or symbols.
  • Copyright protection: If you’ve created an original work (e.g., a book, music, or software), a lawyer can help you register your copyright and ensure your rights are protected.
  • Trade secrets protection: For businesses with proprietary information, a lawyer can draft agreements to protect trade secrets and ensure they remain confidential.
  • Defending against infringement: If someone is using your intellectual property without permission, a lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the infringement and seek damages.
  • Licensing agreements: If you want to allow others to use your intellectual property for a fee, an IP lawyer can draft or negotiate licensing agreements that protect your interests.
  • IP portfolio management: If you have multiple forms of intellectual property, a lawyer can help you manage your IP portfolio, ensuring all assets are protected and strategically utilized.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you avoid legal pitfalls and ensure that your intellectual property is adequately protected from the start.

What Does an Intellectual Property Lawyer Do?

An intellectual property lawyer provides a wide range of services to protect and enforce your intellectual property rights. They can:

  • File patents and trademarks: Helping you prepare and submit patent or trademark applications to protect your inventions, brands, or logos.
  • Register copyrights: Assisting with the registration of original creative works to ensure your rights are protected under copyright law.
  • Litigate infringement cases: Representing you in court if your intellectual property has been used without authorization or if you're accused of infringement.
  • Draft licensing agreements: Creating contracts that allow others to use your intellectual property while ensuring you retain control and receive appropriate compensation.
  • Manage IP portfolios: Helping businesses and individuals manage multiple forms of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
  • Conduct due diligence in business deals: Ensuring that intellectual property assets are properly valued and protected during mergers, acquisitions, or licensing agreements.
  • Monitor and enforce IP rights: Monitoring for potential infringement and taking legal action when necessary to protect your IP from unauthorized use.

How Are Intellectual Property Lawyers Paid?

Intellectual property lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways, depending on the complexity of the work and the type of intellectual property being protected. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For specific services such as filing a trademark or copyright application, many lawyers charge a flat fee that covers all the work required for that service.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex tasks, such as drafting licensing agreements or litigating infringement cases, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Contingency fee: In some cases, particularly for IP litigation, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee would typically be a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.
  • Retainer: For ongoing IP needs, some clients may pay a retainer fee upfront to secure the lawyer’s services, which the lawyer then bills against as they work on the case.

It’s essential to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront to ensure there are no surprises.

How Much Does an Intellectual Property Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an intellectual property lawyer depends on the complexity of the case and the type of intellectual property involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Trademark registration: The cost of registering a trademark can range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the complexity of the application and whether there are any issues during the registration process.
  • Patent filing: Filing a patent is often more expensive, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the type of patent (utility, design, etc.) and the complexity of the invention.
  • Copyright registration: Registering a copyright is usually less costly, with fees typically ranging from $300 to $1,500 for most creative works.
  • Litigation: If you’re involved in an IP dispute or infringement case, litigation can be costly, with fees ranging from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Licensing agreements: Drafting or negotiating a licensing agreement can range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the terms and complexity of the agreement.

Always get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure that the services are within your budget.

Top Questions to Ask an Intellectual Property Lawyer

Before hiring an intellectual property lawyer, it’s essential to ask questions that will help you determine if they are the right fit for your case. Here are some key questions to ask:

  1. What experience do you have with intellectual property law?
    Ensure that the lawyer has substantial experience with your specific type of intellectual property, whether it’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or contingency, and get a clear estimate of what your case will cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success with my application or case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of the chances of successfully obtaining a patent, trademark, or copyright or winning an infringement case.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Ask about the expected timeline for filing your application or resolving your dispute, as IP matters can sometimes take months or years to finalize.
  5. What steps will you take to protect my intellectual property?
    Ask the lawyer how they will help ensure your intellectual property is fully protected and what strategies they use to enforce IP rights.
  6. Have you handled cases similar to mine?
    If your case involves specific industries or technologies, ask whether the lawyer has worked with similar clients and what the outcomes were.

How to Check the Credibility of an Intellectual Property Lawyer

To ensure that you’re hiring a reputable intellectual property lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for specific IP experience: Check their website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in intellectual property law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what past clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their professionalism and success in handling IP matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the International Trademark Association (INTA) or the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) can indicate expertise in intellectual property law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with an intellectual property lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A detailed description of your invention, brand, or creative work: Be prepared to explain what you are seeking to protect, including any unique aspects or characteristics of your intellectual property.
  • Any existing IP registrations or applications: If you’ve already filed for trademarks, patents, or copyrights, bring copies of the relevant documents.
  • Information on potential infringers: If you are dealing with an infringement issue, provide details of the alleged infringer, including evidence of the infringement, such as images, documents, or correspondence.
  • Questions about the process: Write down any questions you have about protecting or enforcing your intellectual property rights, including timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.
  • Your goals: Be clear about what you want to achieve, whether it’s securing a patent, protecting a brand, or enforcing your IP rights against unauthorized use.

Being prepared for your first consultation will help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide you with the best possible advice for protecting your intellectual property.
