Top IP law firm I got my first patent through BAIP, in an exceptionally challenging and difficult case. I am a mathematician and foreign client of theirs. It is not an easy thing to be first in a world of billions of people to think of an idea. Most people cannot understand a brand new technology, or value it as I do, and I had been let down by a lot of people before. BAIP did the patent search for me at the beginning, then drafted the patent application and submitted it to USPTO. They have an outstanding team of people. The legal process took 3 years, and their lead attorney Mr Bentolila represented me at an examiner interview, speaking eloquently, he overcame the initial rejection. That is why BAIP is exceptional. I recommend Bay Area IP to help turn that idea into a patent, and for other Intellectual Property work.

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.

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.

Bay Area IP ROCKS! I'm a USAF Veteran who has become accustomed to going above and beyond to getting the job done. I can certainly say that the staff at Bay Area IP has done just that. This is my first time at attempting this tedious process, and the staff Bay Area IP has certainly displayed a level of professional experience and comfort that is top-notch. If you're looking for a firm you can trust who can get the job done, look no further, this firm ROCKS! Again, Thank you for your service and looking forward to the next venture.

Quality Work at a Great Price I started a patent application with Bay Area IP in 2013 and recently received the notice of allowability from the USPTO. It only took 1 office action response by Bay Area IP to get everything worked out. I credit Bay Area IP for helping us get through this process.They did our PCT application too and I expect to do a lot of future business with them. Ariel has done great work for us, and Abby and the staff have been extremely helpful in getting through this entire process. They charge extremely reasonable fees and do quality work, and they will meet your deadlines. I’m glad I found them!
