NovoTech Patent Firm is an absolute gem for any tech start-up company! Babak and his team exemplify friendliness, high competency, and genuine understanding, care, and support. These are exactly the qualifications you need when filing your first patent and feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of options, decisions, and potential setbacks. Babak and NovoTech team answer any question (even the stupid ones!) promptly and with understandable details, they suggest various options professionally considering your situation, and when it comes to doing the job for you, they are top-notch.

I transferred two patents from another firm to NovoTech in Q1 2024, and the patents were in terrible shape with final and non-final rejections after three years of back and forth. However, after transferring the cases, Babak and Greg helped me revive them and secured approval for one in almost three months! I truly wish I had started with them from the beginning, and I will definitely continue to work with them and recommend them to anyone in the future.

Thank you!
