patrick richards law pc REVIEW Before i start my review, i will start it in an unconventional way; by suggesting a 1-2-3 step advice to whoever is looking for a law firm that handles patents and intellectual properties: 1. visit Richards Patent Law website and go in detail through its contents, particularly under "services" tab, and read all the related questions at the bottom, and make sure you read all the reviews written by clients of Richards Patent Law. 2. search and compile a list of patent law firms, and go through their websites. 3. contact the top two choices, but do not make any commitments yet. 4. contact Richards Patent Law and talk to Patrick. Then decide. Now for the conventioal review: The world of patents and intellectual property is vast, and the more i read about it, the more confused i got. So when i finally decided to approach a law firm to help me with a patent, i made my research, and compiled a list of some twenty firms. Then short listed them to three. I was looking for the big and powerful firms. Richards Patent Law firm was always on the side of my list simply because it was not in the area i was in, and i used its contents to guide me and educate me, so that i can understand what the big and powedful firms had to offer. Some of these firms had more than twenty "specialized" members in fields that i never even new existed. I called them and spoke to the secretaries who failed to put me in touch with the busy lawyers to speak to, but would arrange for an appointment , but one lawyer did talk to me very briefly and suggested to visit the firm. I visited two firms and had a twenty minute courtesy meeting, after which i was alerted that if i wished to contiue there would be an hourly charge. So i left the office to restudy their offer and approach. One thing i remember: i was intimidated, and more confused than ever. Then i decided to call Richards Patent Law, even though it is in another state just to satisfy my initial comfort with its website content and approach. When i spoke to Patrick, everything changed instantly. For the first time, here is someone who in a few minutes was able to understand what i wanted, and very briefly suggested the possible options available, yet giving me all the time to express myself freely, and he respond in a way that matched my intellectual and conceptual understanding of the the issue at hand. So he used simple terms to explain technical definitions, and has this incredible ability to sense if you actually understand the issues he is explaining, and following his discussion. By the end of a 45 minute tel call i had no doubt he was the man. To describe all the positve things i have to say about Patrick would take forever, and thats why i suuggested to read all the other clients reviews. I second and agree with all what they said collectively: knowledgable, efficient, punctual, sincere, committed, resourcefull, trustworthy, straightfull approach, available when needed, are some of the words that come to mind to describe him.

When I finally decided it was time to get patent protection for my idea, I went to the internet to start my search for a lawyer. I was immediately overwhelmed by the shear number of patent lawyers out there. Although, Patrick seemed to continually pop up in my searches. This was my first time getting a patent and I was looking for a lawyer who was willing to put quality time on an amateur inventors idea. Patrick seemed exceed this qualification, and upon our initial contact he was easily able to understand and conceptualize my idea. He is very easy to work with. He took the time to listen to all my questions and concerns and his feedback is incredibly insightful. I consider myself extremely lucky to have found a lawyer like Patrick to guide me through what is otherwise a rather intimidating process. Patrick also made it clear that filing a patent is only part of the process and ultimately the goal is commercialization to some degree. To this end he introduced me to his other business contacts who provided great input and expertise. They have even opened up possible avenues to commercialization. Patrick has been an incredible asset to have and I would recommend anyone who is considering patent protection to get in touch with Patrick.

I feel extremely fortunate to have come across Patrick as early as I did in my search for a patent attorney. From the initial meeting I received a sense that Patrick had a very personal approach to working with his clients and was not looking at simply obtaining another client from whom he could extract business. Given that style, in addition to his tremendous experience, I felt extremely comfortable listening to Patrick’s thoughts and recommendations w/ respect to my ideas, albeit not all of which I was happy to hear at first. In the end I truly believe his guidance helped me save a substantial amount of time, not to mention money, in helping to refine my overly broad concepts into those which are truly valuable and protectable. In addition, I have been able to lean on Patrick’s expertise in other business/legal areas to help negotiate a lucrative agreement not related to our business together. I will definitely continue to use Patrick for all of my IP related needs and will recommend others to consider him as well.

Attempting to put into words the passion, integrity, commitment and knowledge demonstrated by Patrick does not do justice to the superb work and guidance that he has shown me and my partner throughout our journey, from the patent filing process to the steep learning curve of bringing a medical device to market. Patrick is an unending source of support, resources and intellect coupled with a constant enthusiasm and drive to succeed. I feel honored to have Patrick as our patent lawyer and am ever-grateful of his dedication to our goals. From the onset, Patrick makes your journey his own and completes every milestone, both joyous and difficult, with you. His genuine persona fosters mutual trust and respect among all stakeholders, thus driving the success of any project. I would recommend Patrick’s services to any individual searching for a dedicated, resourceful and trustful patent lawyer. And I remain truly thankful that I can depend on Patrick for all of my IP needs.

My experience working with RPL has changed the way that I view legal services entirely. Patrick and his team are truly remarkable. RPL has been responsive to my inquiries and clear about cost. Beyond responsiveness and transparency, Patrick has gone out of his way to provide the best possible customer service and has been a valuable thought partner in my pursuits. Additionally, Patrick found time to educate me along the way on the phone, in person and via email. Through founding RPL, Patrick is dispelling many of the stereotypes embodied by the countless number of attorneys that think in terms of fees rather than in people. Patrick has my highest recommendation. If you have intellectual property questions, patentable ideas and are looking for a great attorney as well as a stand up guy, give RPL a call.

Patrick assisted our company with our patent submission. Throughout the entire process he was great to work with. He was always very quick to respond with any questions that we had and his responses were well thought out. He took time to make sure that he understood our product and how it worked in order to ensure he was giving us the best advice possible. Patrick is very reachable, either through email, phone call, or even meeting him at his office. Even though I am sure that we are one of his smaller clients, we have never felt that he was was giving us any less attention. I would highly recommend Patrick.

Richards Patent Law has helped my business from the very beginning. Patrick has guided everything from initial patent searches, potential infringements, the provisional patent on to non-provisional patent, and trademarks. Patrick quickly and clearly determined the optimal approach for each. He also provided legal recommendations on branding, product names and packaging details. Richards Patent Law has been a vital partner to assist in the launch of my first product line. I am at ease as I progress into production and will not hesitate to contact Patrick when my next intellectual property matter arises.

Patrick and his team provided expert service and advice. From the first meeting to having the patent in hand, Patrick not only navigated the formal paperwork but provided insight and ideas into making the (now) protected ideas commercially relevant. It was a straightforward experience and we got the intended results with only one revision. Richards Patent Law is both personalized and professional. Top notch.

I’ve worked with Patrick Richards as an independent inventor on a couple of different patents. I found his insights and advice very helpful in filing successful patent applications and I recommend him for his skills. As a professional in semiconductor manufacturing, I‘m confident his experience and ability would support a wide range of corporate IP services.

My companies, OVAL Fire Products and Knowlemics, have hired Patrick a couple of times to date, and the experience has been very good. His advice is always full of insight, candid, and honest.
