I loved the open communication and how easy this whole process was. I was a little nervous to start this journey but Houda was really open both for phone / video calls but also to just listen as I explained my thought process. She really knows her stuff!
Professionalism. Listened to us and what we needed. Almost always returned our emails immediately. Very attentive.
I felt that Chris really took the time to understand the function of my new product and could envision it being utilized in a way that takes advantage of it’s unique characteristics.
He is friendly, professional, and easy to work with him. Firstly, he clearly understood my patent in detail, then prepared the claims and remarks. Based on my feedback, he was willing to make changes to prepare a strong response document. Although I have provided my analysis on rejections by comparing the reference patent.
Tom was very patient and resourceful. He was able to explain every step of the process in depth in a very simple format. He was very helpful in answering all my questions and pointing out details I wouldn’t have thought of by myself. Very diligent resourcefulness and patient.
Houda’s work has been thorough, well thought-out, and accurate in its interpretation. She approached the first meeting with an interest and curiosity that continued throughout the provisional patent process.
I can’t imagine the process being any easier.
Awesome and friendly people. Great communication and teamwork.
I liked the quick response from her & Binita is very professional at what she does. Great help & friendly.
Bold Patents – a team of professionals! I strongly recommend them for the patience, goodness and precision on helping me to the process of making my idea come true! I could not have made a better choice! Thank you Bold Patents for all your support!
Binita was very detailed and she always answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable speaking to her and addressing my concerns with her. Although the results were not in our favor, we do have a lot of information which could help us to tweak it
The quality of work is top notch. There was absolutely nothing I would recommend that could add anymore value to the team.
Your company is doing an amazing job. When questions were asked, responses were given in a fast timely matter. I like how this company is ran.
Bold Patents gets the job done!!! They never left me out of the loop and they were there to answer any and every question I had. My patent attorney Houda is phenomenal. She took the extra step to get connected with my management advisory team and our progress skyrocketed. I’d refer any entrepreneur wanting to protect their intellectual property to Bold Patents. The work timeline was on point and they exceeded expectations. It was truly a pleasure to work with the Bold Patents team.
My experience with the BOLD team has been fantastic every step of the way. I started not knowing anything about the process, and now I’m happy to say I’m two patents and counting with the BOLD team. They really make it easy. Thanks BOLD!
I am a complete amateur at inventions and patents. Bold hand-held me through the entire process from the provisional to the non-provisional patent and even a trademark. Highly recommended. The owner JD is also super available to talk with clients.
I’ve had an outstanding experience with Bold Law Firm. They are especially interested in helping out entrepreneurs.
I have been working with Bold Patents Law Firm for the last three years. They have helped me file a few patents and a trademark application. The entire staff is wonderful! They are efficient, intelligent, polite and a great team. I cannot fully express how much I appreciate Bold and the assistance they have provided to me and my invention. I am beyond grateful to the firm and so glad to be working with them. Thank you Bold, you are a superb group of people and an excellent firm!
Finally prioritized protecting my small business name and sought out Bold Patents to assist with the Trademark process. They are amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable on the steps, and their process was easy to navigate. I am so excited to have my business name trademarked!
Pursuing a design patent while in school could not have been made any easier than with Bold. Everyone I had the pleasure of working with was personable and so supportive. Highly recommend.
The representative for Bold was responsive and available anytime my husband William and I needed to discuss our invention. We are proud to say we have our patent. You have to trust the process. I would recommend Bold Patent to others.
I had quoted 4 other law firms to do a patent for my small startup company and Bold Patent beat all other 4 firms by far. Their work is transparent and their set prices are provided to you upfront. No surprise fees! This is something that I value greatly. Needless to say that working with the attorneys at this firm has been super easy and professional. They always listen to my concerns / questions and always put me in a favorable position to file and monetize my idea. Check out the “Mack Clamps” on Amazon or US 12042685 B1 in Google.
My experience with the Bold Patents Law Firm continues to be incredible. Thank you Chris Mayle and team for pulling off our patent! It was an up and down journey for me personally, always waiting in anticipation. I’m happy to have Bold Patents get it done right and stay the course. It’s an incredible feeling to have this patent. Highly recommended.
I have a small company, Growing Words, that sells reading games that I have created for beginning and struggling readers. After having a number of people warn me about protecting my products, I had someone suggest reaching out to Bold Patents Law Firm. I’m so glad I did. It was very easy to connect with them and they made the whole process of applying for a trademark easy and affordable. Matt was very friendly, helpful, and quick to take care of everything.
Bold patents has been a great experience for me, they are accessible and I work with the same Attorney each time. It is a concierge type service, this prevents having to explain myself each time I reach out. They are confident in meeting their clients needs and take the time to answer my questions and explain topics I am not familiar with. Do yourself a favor, set up a consultation. D in Texas
Great help and knowledge. Thank you
Excellent service based on a deep knowledge of the subject matter.
Bold Patents people are very nice and they kept working hard to achieve my patent for me The Bold Ideas Inventors Guide to Patents book is great . I learned a lot about Patents and patent procedure I like the people at Bold and would hire the firm again
The Bold team is amazing top to bottom! They made my experience easy and seamless if you are looking for a patent firm to help bring your ideas to life then go with bold I did and if I can do it anyone can.
In late 2020 when I decided to file my patent applications, I spoke with JD at Bold Patents on a Zoom call. The service fee was a little over my budget at the time, so I decided to go with a cheaper firm. This was a BIG MISTAKE that almost cost me my patent.
I finally started the patent application process in 2021. It was confusing from the start and was almost impossible to speak with a patent attorney directly. My questions were taken by a para-legal and communicated to an attorney, after which I would get my answers, which took time and was frustrating.
We filed the application and due to insufficient technical details, received a rejection from the USPTO. In a panic, I hired another attorney to respond to this rejection. When the new attorney discussed the rejection with me, I was told that winning this patent would be a “long shot.” However, he could write a response based on what I think is different between my invention and the prior art. In other words, I was asked to provide the technical grounds for fighting the rejection. Finding the differences and uniqueness in my invention should have been the job of the patent attorney, not mine.
I was lost and felt helpless again, finding myself trying to defend this patent application alone with no one to help in terms of technical expertise. I had put in all my time, effort, resources and energy into this project, even having produced physical samples of my invention and here I was, facing this rejection only due to a lack of technical understanding of patents.
One day, while checking my email, I saw an email from JD because Bold Patents sends out monthly updates on patents. I decided to call JD again and discuss my situation. That call changed everything for me and my patent application. JD graciously accepted to be the new attorney of record for my patent application. He assigned one of the most senior patent attorneys, Houda El-Jarrah to my case.
Just from my first call with Houda, I was fully confident that Bold Patents would successfully make my case with the USPTO and together we would win this patent. Houda and her team argued my case and provided the necessary technical justifications and reasonings for the USPTO examiner to be convinced beyond any doubt that my invention was unique.
Praise and thanks to Almighty God first and then to the amazing team of attorneys at Bold Patents, especially Houda El-Jarrah, that I have been granted the utility and design patents for my invention by the USPTO. I am certain that it was due to their technical expertise, extreme professionalism, and dedication and commitment to their clients, that Bold Patents was able to win these patents for me.
Thank you so much Bold Patents!!
Bold Patents did an awesome job on my patent. The patent lawyer Chris Mayle seems to have mastered the process for filing and getting approvals. He did a great job on my Non Provisional Patent. J.D. Houvener and his team of attorneys rock!
Bold Patents worked with myself and two of my friends on getting a patent for our idea. Mr. Houvener worked with us from day one and gave us realistic timelines, costs and feedback. He was very professional, but easy to talk to. Thank you for helping me fulfil a goal that I didn’t think achievable.
Top Notch Patent Attorneys for the Inventor! The eagerness to help and communicate, through every step of the process from Maegan, my attorney, Chris, and even the owner J.D., exceeded every expectation. This team really cares and supports an inventor, whether a rookie or a veteran. Go Bold and go First Class!
First time patent inventor here. Going into this fairly blind, I hired Team Bold. With All those empty questions I had, it took one email and I would have an answer almost immediately. Working with Team Bold has been a piece of cake. My attorney Chris has been amazing at doing his job. He even had to show a little bit of muscle to the USPTO lady. Lol After that, we successfully succeeded in getting my patent. 5 stars plus 1 from me. If you’re in doubt because hiring an attorney is scary. Just go ahead and do it. Yes Would I use Bold for my next invention patent. Thank you
This review is written with a heavy heart. Didn’t want to write a review during this time, but JD and Houda both deserve a great review without the delay of current state. If your idea is unique and not currently in the market place, BOLD Patents can help. It is true that necessity is the mother of invention. Around the age of 8, my highly skillful father constructed cardboard into a slope and attached it under the flat dish drying rack so that the water would run off the rack and into the sink. Like countless others who come up with unique design ideas, my father had no clue about or how to even begin to patent an idea. Perhaps, seeing my father invent is what inspired me to seek the American Dream with my own unique design not found in the market place. Please be encouraged on the long journey ahead, and hopeful in the American Dream where small businesses and entrepreneurs bring both value and jobs to the market place that add vitality to spark growth. Your idea is special, and can only be trusted in the hands of the experienced and passionate like JD and Houda. You are in good BOLD hands my fellow inventors. Wish you all the best and the American Dream!
Bold Patents was a very professional and on point with our patent. We are so excited and happy to have your team definitely work together with us to get our patent.
Bold Patents enabled me to obtain a utility and design patent on my invention. They communicated with me every step of the way and found a way to navigate through the initial rejections to get me the patents. I highly, highly recommend them.
Hands down the most professional, trustworthy and concise team at Bold Patents. Not only are they very clear and informative about each stage of the process but they are also nice. There are no used car salesman vibes here. No pressure to make decisions and on top of everything they will educate you literally as there are weekly YouTube videos covering every aspect of the process but are interactive and connect real time in the live stream. Seriously if you are using someone else, dump them now no hard feelings but This is the first company I’ve dealt with that spent time to get my approval approved the first time. Big shout to the team at Bold IP LLC. You guys are fckin rock stars. I will be submitting a couple other applications soon as my first one is in the manufacturing stage and I am speaking with investors now. All thanks to you guys.
I have used Bold Patents for years. They are very personable and reasonable. They don’t treat you like an opportunity to make money. They treat you like a human being. They are very different then the cold, in-personable IP firms. If you have some intellectual property, want to do a patent, I would use them.
Good communication, effective strategy implementation, achieves commitments.
Bold Patents = Professionals and knowledgeable ! They are my right hand in my patent journey !
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
The Bold Patents team from day one maintained a feeling of support. BP definitely still provides “back in the day” customer service with a modern convenience. I never felt like I was just in a business deal. Even the fact that we are in different states had no effect on the patent process for me. The “what’s next” was always delivered in a manner that I could understand. Hearing from Maegan to see how I am doing had the biggest impact on how I will forever perceive BP.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Bold Patents. They are extremely knowledgeable in their areas, prompt with their communications & responses, transparent & honest with their findings, break complex IP information into simple & understandable terms. Each & every member that I have interacted with has been professional, friendly and well informed. They made my PPA filing a breeze.
What sets them apart from the rest, is their passion to educate, protect the IP & invention and to help budding inventors chart a path towards entrepreneurship by helping turn ideas into protected products. I highly recommend them & will continue to work with them in the future. Thank you Bold team, JD, Maegan & Binita!
