NovoTechIP has been very helpful from the very beginning. Sara never hesitated to call us when she needed something clarified which was a great help in the entire process. All of our questions were always answered within a reasonable time and we were always given an intellectual answer. Before finding NovoTechIP we thought we would never find a company we could entrust with our idea. Not only a trustworthy company, but also very reliable. We were always kept up to date and knew what was going on with our patent process at all times. We definitely would like to work with you guys on our future patents.
