Client Testimonials

Donn and his staff are wonderful. I had an idea for an invention, and some traction for potential sales. Donn worked diligently to get my patent filed as soon as possible, allowing me to start sales within a few weeks. Donn does great work, I will be recommending him to anyone I know.

Ethan

Donn has a wealth of experience to pull from and was able to give me strategic advice on a handful of different product ideas at various stages of development. Speaking with Donn felt like I had my own private office hours with a top professor at university and I'm forever grateful for the advice he provided. I will definitely be returning for my future patent and trademark needs.

Chad

Honest, Professional & HIGHLY Knowledgeable. Could have charged me to file a patent that probably would not have ever been approved. Instead, explained why my product would have a difficult time going through the process and gave me numerous cheaper & quicker workarounds to protect my IP; and so far, they are working out great. In the process, saved me thousands of dollars and over a year of waiting time. Even though he knew within a minute of looking at my product that I would not be paying him to file a patent, he still took the time to speak with me for over an hour and shared some very valuable business tips. I would Highly recommend Donn H & his firm. If I ever develop another product to patent, I am definitely going back to American Patent & Trademark Law Center.
