We were in need to file a patent under a short deadline, I contacted NovoTech through a referral from a fellow tech founder who have worked with them before. They were right on the target and were able to get all of our ideas that we have had difficulties putting on an application put in a format that we were able to meet the deadline to file for our patent. Very professional organization who cares about the success of their clients.
