Dr. Vepachedu is one of the best patent attorneys in the country who counseled me through every step in submitting my patent to the USPTO where each embodiment in the patent was strengthened by the claims Rao wrote that covered every angle making it strong enough to be secured, maintained, and protected once it issues. I've worked with a few patent attorneys over the years and have yet to find anyone even close to having the prepared knowledge as Rao has when it comes to the preparation experience of taking a persons in-depth technical patent like mine and bringing it to life.

Rao is a born IP lawyer. He is extremely intellectual and curious of various areas of life. My patent relates to classical music and mechanical aspects of violins and violas. I did not expect him to be interested in musical instruments, because of his vast experience in pharmaceutical industry. But he was curious and willing to learn. He is also confident and has a fighting spirit. My patent application was first rejected as many expected, but he submitted a response with such concrete proof that it was granted.

Dr. Vepachedu is the best patent attorney that I ever have worked with. He has a through understanding of the technology and IP law to prepare and prosecute complex technological areas such as biotech and pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Vepachedu is like Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson in one person. Rao has the attention to detail of a seasoned scientist and judgment and issue spotting capabilities of an experienced attorney, and he was an asset to our team. He won several awards for his contributions to our research programs with his legal/IP advice. He is also a very good teacher. Rao is the best IP counsel that I have ever worked with.

He is a scientist and an attorney, a rare combination, and he has the keen eye for legal issues and judgment as an attorney, and attention to detail of a scientist. He was always available to answer any legal or scietific questions for his team members, and worked round the clock to accomplish extraordinary results for his teams. Without a doubt, he is one of the best patent lawyers, I have ever worked with at Abbott Labs. I regret that he moved to a different company, a tremeondous loss for Abbott.
