I went to Bay Area after several… I went to Bay Area after several searches in my area. I decided after a very unsatisfying experience with a widely advertised firm I came across Bay Area. The well advertised firm did a pathetic patent search and I thought I would give these guys. Try based on several reviews that were good. I am a first time inventor and they accommodated my inexperience and what amounted to be several design changes. After a couple of rounds of prosecution I was recently notified that I have been granted a design patent. I highly recommend Bay Area IP. If I ever have another idea I won’t hesitate to call on them again. Don Johnson

Experienced, knowledgeable and affordable! I am glad we chose Bay Area IP to process a very complex software patent. Ariel's experience and knowledge helped us get approval - on a modest budget. BAIP did a great job in helping us understand the process; and in framing our patent application in broad enough terms that would be considered allowable by USPTO. We went back and forth with USPTO multiple times; and each time BAIP helped us figure out the ideal way to move forward. Ariel did two interviews with the examiner - which we believe were key to getting approval. I would not hesitate to recommend BAIP for software IP needs.

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

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER They missed nearly every deadline, were rude, hung up on me, and then threatened not to complete the work I'd paid for unless I removed a negative Yelp review. They were not willing to have a simple conversation to make things right. I will not work with them again nor ever recommend them to a friend. Look at their response. They don't take any responsibility for missing deadlines or treating me badly, they just attack attack attack. She talks about how I did something wrong in ordering one of their packages, but they didn't have to take my money. They knew about our previous conversations, but they took my money and then did a TERRIBLE JOB. They never once sincerely apologized for being almost two weeks late with a part of my job. With them it's just deflect attack deflect, then stonewall you when you try to talk through the problem with someone other than the secretary. If they had let me have one sincere conversation with someone other than terrible Abby or Hang-Up Happy Mai, I would have been much more understanding about their failures.
