I got my patent fast! After numerous attempts to speak with a real person from other online legal services I found Bay Area IP online. I live in the Bay Area, but soon realized that their scope of work was not geocentric and folks were always there to answer my questions and guide me along the right path. I am excited to say that because of Bay Area IP I have been awarded a patent from the USPTO and we are now in production! Bay Area IP put me at ease and took care of my needs at a very reasonable price. Thanks again, Mike Lamb, Los Gatos, CA

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… I contacted this company for converting an exisiting provisional patent to a utility patent. I was told it could be done in couple of weeks for $2300. I agreed and paid with a check. when ever I asked for an update I was told they can only give this work once the money reflected on their account my check not cleared yet. So I deposited on 3rd June directly to their account. They said the money is reflecting on their account. On 4th June when I requested for an update of the work I was told my signature is not done properly so the work is still in new case setup status.Potential client status Work can not begin unless this is rectified. I was disappointed realised I have been played well to get money from me not the work and cancelled my order in writing on 4th.June and requested to reimbursement of my money. I try to fallow up with numerous telephone calls to why my money is not returned? No one would accept my calls in their office. These countless calls would end up in some answering services promising me the calls woud be returned. No one ever returned any calls or my money. Then from nowhere on 17th June I got a email like Mafia style Not only I can not get my money back I owe them more money now sice I have cancelled this order which was on sale and gave me a bogus bill to pay. It is been 2months today I have not recieved my money back. My time and money is wasted with this Bay Area IP group. When I read many cosumer comments about this group on many sites It looks like I am not the only one victim with such experiences. I will not recommend Bay area IP to anyone based on my experience.

The Patent process is not easy The Patent process is not easy, but Bay Area IP stepped me through the process. I know I could NOT have done this on my own. They also made me think outside the box to cover all aspects of my Design & Utility Patent. The Design has been issued and awaiting on Utility. Not to mention the Legal Paper work required... not something you want to take on without their team experts :)

Internationals requiring US Patent Internationals requiring US Patent, stop here and Bay Area IP will do the rest. Very professional, very courteous and communicate all processes. Make no mistake, the USPTO is a pit full of dangers for the inexperienced. Just let Bay Area IP do the work for you at extremely competitive rates and get the right result, a Patent like I did.

Utility Patent Bay Area IP did a utility patent and it was recently allowed. They are keen on technologies and able to tell you the value of your inventions. They know every trick in the book and very familiar with the process. The fee is reasonable. Before the work begins, they send the instructions by email, which contains valuable information. Now I am looking to build a patent portfolio by filing a continuation-in-part. They advise me to keep the patent application chain alive to draw interest from investors for future venture business or patent licensing business.
