Client Testimonials

I had a fantastic experience with Eastgate IP during their free consultation service. They were extremely helpful and provided honest, thoughtful advice that really helped clarify my next steps. My online meeting was comfortable and informative, and follow-up emails were just as responsive and helpful. Highly recommend if you're looking for good guidance in the IP space!

I can't express how good my experience with Eastgate IP was enough!! When you consider: 1) how much experience they have combined with 2) their patience and professionalism as they work with you on your product, and lastly 3) a pricing plan that makes sense - it is a bargain of a deal. When I was researching patent attorneys to work with, I wanted a group that was more personalized and able to work with my niche product versus a conglomerate/big company that wasn't fully interested in my idea. Eastgate however recognized the potential of my product and had advice for me not only on the technical aspects of filing my patent, but also as importantly on the business side of things for commercializing the product. And that's also where their character shown through as well. There were a couple of times in the process for example that I was impressed with them: they could have steered me in a direction that would have made more business sense for them, but they looked out for my own interest instead and gave me some advice that was better ultimately for me. So I have respect/trust for them on that. (And that is also why I am very comfortable with posting my recommendation.) In closing, if you are unsure of the many patent attorneys to choose from, I encourage you to reach out to Eastgate IP for a consultation on your product idea/patent as they will give you a fair opinion and will have the implementation chops to get you going.

Great working with Scott and Tim. Really took the time to explain things to me, especially patents are not easy to understand for an average person. High recommended and I will go back to Scott and Tim for all my future patent needs.
