“Bay Area IP has been winning my patents for years”

Dmitri S.

I've been using Bay Area IP for many years. They are very thorough in their work, and they send you great instructions on what to do, to take the ambiguity out of the submission process. The field I am in has a high degree of complexity, yet the professionals at Bay Area IP are able to formulate the submission clearly, and to convince USPTO of the validity of the claims. That was instrumental in winning my patents. The pricing is targeted towards an average person rather than a corporation with deep pockets: you only pay for one step at a time, rather than for the whole process at the start, You always know exactly what you are paying for, and have pricing levels to choose from at every step.

I knew nothing about them process I was engaging in. I had a couple of very unsatisfying experiences with patent searches. I had actually done better myself. I then went to Bay Area and they did a very satisfactory search. I decided to give them a try. I had some CAD drawings that I sent them and I seconded guessed myself a couple of times and changed the design a couple of times. They accommodated these changes and after a couple of rounds of prosecution I was notified that I was granted a design patent and that I as close to getting granted a second. I was thrilled. It was a major accomplishment for me. If I ever have another idea I won't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend them Don J

I worked with Bay Area IP about my patent on Molecular Spintronics devices. I did an extensive search on different patent firms before selecting Bay Area IP. I wanted to make sure I am engaging with a firm with expertise in dealing with the intricate design and fabrication process I tried to patent. My patent idea is based on microfabrication processes and results of my last 18 years of expertise in molecular electronics devices. Bay Area Ip had a very clear IDF(information disclosure form) to understand the scope of work that was and had very nominal charges to do the prior art search. They also offered a consultation with the principal patent Lawyer Mr. Ariel S. Bentolila. I had a ~ one hours discussion about his views and expertise in the semiconductor device patenting field. After that interaction with Mr. Ariel S. Bentolila, I also talked with ten other patent lawyers/firms. I found him uniquely knowledgeable in dealing with my nanoscale device ideas. I'm very pleased with the quality of the draft. They have prepared and addressed the patent examiner questions systematically and with great care. The USPTO finally accepts all of the ~20 claims, and I am heading to get the full utility patent.

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. BAIP is truly exceptional. I recommend Bay Area IP to help turn your idea into a patent, and for other Intellectual Property work.

Tip for consumers:
Some reviews claim this company is a scam, which is entirely false and untrue.
Unfortunately there are some vindictive people out there.
