“I have sent every EPO and UK patent matter to Barker Brettell for almost a decade and it’s a pleasure working with you. Every contact is reliable, responsive, insightful, and accommodating.
Whether we’re doing crazy computer math, saving the world with cold plasma, or tracking the irritation level of a fish, I trust that the right person is handling the matter and will select the best way to proceed. You’re the best “foreign” lawyers I know, and I sincerely appreciate our partnership.
I owe a particular debt of gratitude to you for your quick work on this practically impossible case. Looking forward to the next one!”
