Misha Macaw did a spectacular job in representing us and our Veterans event when the threat of a copyright suit was thrown at us unexpectedly. What started as a huge number and some severe threats was quickly reduced to almost nothing, and the tone changed very quickly from overbearing to demure once Misha put forth his / our position. As our event is put on each year free of charge to the Veterans Community, legal fees were a concern and we could not be more pleased with the final outcome. THANK YOU Santangelo! read less

After looking into websites that claim to complete the patent applications in a matter of minutes at a cut-rate price, I realized the cookie-cutter approach would not provide much protection. I had worked hard on my idea and didn't want it to be only protected by an impersonal website with a lot of flash and little substance. After receiving a great referral and doing my own due diligence researching, I contacted Nicole to help with my invention. Her expertise in intellectual property law helped to skillfully craft my patent application with the legal language necessary to provide true legal protection. Being the first time I dabbled in the intellectual property arena, I had a lot of questions and Nicole was responsive and thorough in her answers. Please check out Nicole if you too are looking for IP legal assistance. read less

Al was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of patent law. He asked all the right questions and pushed us to really see the complete scope and applications of our product. I know that we will have an extremely valuable and protective patent once we are completely through the process.We originally thought about submitting our own patent using self help books and websites, but after working with Al we have realized how short sited that approach would have been. It would have been impossible for us to navigate this tricky process without Al's guidance and expertise.I highly recommend working with Al and The Idea Asset Group, you won't regret the decision! read less

In the “IP legal world” this lawsuit went the complete course… from A to Z. RXAS was sued for patent infringement by a much larger entity, which proved over multiple attempts that settlement was not an option for them. Knowing that a very low percentage of patent law suits make it to a trial, it was clear to the Santangelo Team that this case was inevitable. Statistics show the patent holder is usually the victor; which obviously increased the risk for RXAS as our defense was structured. In my opinion, the Plaintiff’s strategy was nothing short of crushing the competition through an expensive, long, drawn out legal battle.Over the lengthy legal process, the Santangelo Legal Team represented RXAS with a clear understanding of our company size and the legal position needed to defend our case. I personally had the opportunity to work with almost every staff member at any given timeframe during this litigation. Everyone at RXAS, including myself, who was directly involved in this case have the utmost respect for the Santangelo Team’s professionalism and the team approach orchestrated throughout the entire litigation asserted on RXAS. There was no question that the future of my company was in the hands of Santangelo Law Office.Throughout the 9 day jury trial, the Santangelo Team continued to stack the truth within the legal forum for a major win for RXAS. An approximate 1.5 hour jury deliberation resulted in a Non-Infringement to Claim 1 of the asserted patent… as well as Santangelo invalidating the patent due to a legal constraint called “On-Sale Bar”. A major win might be an understatement.Looking back today, I’m thankful for every team member Santangelo assembled as part of our defense. Their work ethic, dedication, legal talents and courtroom experience clearly distinguished Santangelo Law Office as a leading law firm. RXAS will always refer and continue to use Santangelo Law Offices for any and all future IP needs.Yet another Thank You to Luke Santangelo and his colleagues from everyone here at RXAS.Sincerely,Tim Chambers, PresidentR/X Automation Solutions Inc. read less

Their business model was predatory. They threatened defendants with the possibility of a $150,000 judgment and the forfeiture of their website's domain name. I had never been sued before and the whole thing scared the bejesus out of me. I didn't know what I was going to do. I looked into hiring legal counsel but most firms wanted between $5,000 to $10,000 in retainer fees. I began researching legal assistance, and contacted a number of law firms to inquire about pro bono legal aid, or possibly reduced-rate representation.Things weren't going well at first. But I kept researching. I'd read about a lawyer named David Kerr, who had helped an autistic blogger named Brian Hill defeat a Righthaven lawsuit. I contacted Mr. Kerr, an attorney with the Santangelo Law Offices. Mr. Kerr could not represent me pro bono, but he was able to give me legal advice, essentially guiding me through the process of representing myself in the case. I filed a response to Righthaven pro se, and by that time things had started going downhill for Righthaven, and my case, along with 33 others, was thrown out by U.S. District Court Judge John Kane in Denver.I haven't needed a copyright attorney lately, but if I did the first person I'd contact is David Kerr at Santangelo. The staff at the office was always courteous and professional. My calls were always returned when Mr. Kerr was unable to talk on the phone. I recommend the services of Santangelo Law Offices enthusiastically and with no reservations whatsoever. read less

Only to have David pick up the phone he attentively listened and calmed my fears. After he responded to the charges of this copyright troll scheme on my behalf, though it took a bit to get it all resolved the suit was dropped. He continued to keep me up dated regarding these trolls for the next two years has the tables turned on them. David was very genuine and caring during this time. Thank you Sir David Kerr for being a man of integrity helping those who get blindsided by scheming trolls. read less

And, things evolve quickly in the landscape of both business and patents. Nicole is excellent at guiding opportunities, managing the patent process now and foreseeing opportunities tomorrow. With her expert guidance my business idea has evolved to better work in the market, addressing key factors that help the patentability at the same time. To top it off I've really enjoyed the process and have learned a lot. First time patent applicants as well as repeat applicants would do very well to include Nicole in their new ventures. read less

Without their help, I would not have been able to complete it without serious intellectual property problems.Attorney Dave Kerr walked me through the potential pitfalls and helped me to determine the best approach to avoiding them. Most importantly to me, I came away with an understanding of how to apply his advice in the future instead of having to ask the same questions every time I develop a product.

This is a first rate group. They assist with every aspect of patenting an idea. Early on they help sort out and clarify what is patentable. They do as much as you want or need through the granting of your patent. Their ability to write strong claims is extraordinary, resulting in strong issued patents. They also follow through with ongoing maintenance or other actions as needed. read less
