I founded this firm after serving as a technology expert with the Army Special Forces, bringing with me the core values of integrity, dedication, and selfless service. Since our inception in 2020, we've drafted and/or prosecuted over 700 patent applications. Our clients stay with us because we give them straight, honest counsel about their patent matters.
Our team's background isn't typical for a patent law firm. We're former engineers, cybersecurity experts, and technical operations specialists who understand the complexity of your innovations firsthand. But what really sets us apart is how we work with both inventors and patent examiners - we've learned that building genuine relationships at the USPTO helps move applications forward more effectively than aggressive tactics.
You might notice our rates are often 10%-30% lower than what other firms charge. That's intentional. We believe protecting your intellectual property shouldn't drain the resources you need to grow your business. Our success isn't measured by how many patents we file, but by how we help businesses thrive and support the families behind them.
Here's an offer: Schedule a free consultation with us, even if you're considering other firms. We'll give you honest guidance about your patent strategy - whether it makes sense to file a patent application or explore alternative strategies. You'll walk away with clear, practical advice about protecting your innovation, regardless of whether you become our client.
This is your life's work we're talking about. You deserve straightforward counsel from people who understand both the technology and the business impact of your IP decisions.
EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Daniel ShkarinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ### 5-Star Review for James's Patent Law Services I can't say enough good things about James and his team at Stevens Patent Law! When I approached him to draft a method patent for my small business—a unique process in our manufacturing workflow that we'd developed over years—I was nervous about the complexity and potential costs. James made the entire experience seamless, professional, and incredibly effective. From our initial consultation, James took the time to truly understand my business needs. He asked insightful questions that helped refine the invention's scope, ensuring the patent was not only strong but also broad enough to protect our competitive edge without overreaching. His expertise in method patents shone through; he navigated the intricacies of prior art searches, claim drafting, and USPTO requirements with precision. What could have been a daunting months-long ordeal was wrapped up efficiently, and we received our patent allowance much faster than I anticipated. James's communication was outstanding—he kept me updated every step of the way, explained legal jargon in plain English, and was always responsive to my questions. The final patent application was thorough, well-written, and positioned us perfectly for future enforcement or licensing opportunities. Thanks to him, my business now has valuable IP protection that has already boosted investor interest. If you're an inventor or business owner needing patent help, especially for methods or processes, James is the go-to expert. Highly recommended—5 stars without hesitation! I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.Posted on JUSTIN LEONARDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. originally i tried to save money by using a foreign attorney. that backfired badly. i had a tight deadline and discovered attorney james stevens and his team. they were able to fix my patent drawings and update orher aspects of my application within 24 hours (amazing). he also handled the electronic filing and provided documentstion, confirmations, and receipts where applicable. the pricing was fair. the attorney also offered to fix any future objections from the examiner (related to drawings) at no charge. i appreciate the services of attorney stevens and i intend to hire him for future patent applications. glad i was able to work with a firm owned by a fellow military veteran. thanksPosted on W EdwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Does what only a real professional canPosted on Robyn OkonskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A patent lawyer, that can guide you through a complex process and explain in simple terms to make it feel less overwhelming. James was extremely patient. He took the time to understand my questions and provided invaluable insight to get me on the right path forward. I'd highly recommend him for an honest approach combined with knowledge, experience and expertise you can trust.Posted on Mark SkinnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James is an electrical engineer and is supremely helpful in writing technical patents for systems. He's already gotten two utility and one design patent approved for me, and he's far more affordable, competent, and approachable than the last lawyer I used. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!Posted on John DaveyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James Stevens and his team secured a family of patents that significantly protected and increased the value of my IP. They understood our needs, provided clear guidance, and helped open doors for new opportunities, including licensing deals. The process was smooth, and their expertise made a real difference. Highly recommend their services for anyone needing solid patent protection.Posted on P PezzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have found Stevens Patent Law to be responsive, informative, and competent. It was a difficult process to weed through all of the results for assistance with my patent application, and after speaking with several questionable options I was fortunate to find Stevens Patent Law. A few conversations with James and I knew this was the team with whom I wanted to work. Being an attorney myself-though not practicing in patents - I was aware of the risks involved in engaging the wrong assistance for such an important task. I would recommend this team for any of my clients who need assistance with patent searches, applications and associated services.Posted on Thomas TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with James at Stevens Patent Law, and his expertise and dedication have made all the difference. He guided me through every detail of the patent process with clarity and professionalism, always keeping me informed and making sure I understood each step. His attention to detail and genuine commitment to protecting my ideas have given me complete confidence in his work. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and skilled patent attorney, James at Stevens Patent Law is outstanding!Posted on Paul BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I inquired about a design patent application. James provided all information and more. Also provided information about how to strengthen my IP portfolio, such as certain filing (continuations / divisional / CIP) with respect to my R&D process. We are working together for our company’s entire portfolio. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Highly recommendedPosted on David KovanenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. James Stevens is outstanding. He knows his trade well, he listens well, and he gets things done efficiently. For me he very successfully negotiated with the patent examiner to get a patent allowed after a Final Rejection has been entered. (That patent was started by another individual...James saved the day.) He's an engineer. He's pragmatic. He's easy to work with. He's honest...something I can't say for all patent agents. I will continue to file patents with him.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
