As first-time founders with multiple inventions needing patents, my team and I took our time to choose a legal firm that aligned with our culture and would be a good fit over a long time horizon. We consulted with 20 legal firms from coast to coast. This might seem as overkill to most, but due to the nature of our ever expanding product line, we knew it would be in our best interest to partner with a brilliant legal team that could grow with us and our needs.

We had our first conversation with the NovoTechIP team early on and every meeting with a different firm thereafter, paled in comparison. From the very first consult and continuing to the finish line, we experienced the utmost support with rapid inquiry responses as well as technical expertise and thoughtful suggestions. Even though the firm works with notable multinational corporations, our startup was prioritized, and the NovoTechIP folks acted as an extension of our team. Moreover, they offered a transparent pricing structure. The attorneys at NovoTechIP not only demonstrate elite professionalism, but they also share genuine concern for your company, your patent process and your success. You have our deepest gratitude, Babak Akhlaghi and team!
