What inventors say
A few words from our clients.
“Kevin is awesome! Third time I have used him since 2012. Design patents in the past and this is our first Utility Patent, which was a home run! His efforts are top shelf and his style is common sense without any legal delays or hiccups. Highly recommend again and again! Cheers -”
“Originally searching for DC patent lawyer on the Googler, I came across Kevin Prince' Dirt Cheap Patents in the early 2000s. His company's best price(s) and his professionalism sold me from the start. Working with Kevin on three different inventions during the last fifteen plus years I have been continually impressed despite the 2,500 mi distance between our offices. His professionalism continues to this day to be unmatched by his seasoned patent attorney competition. Not only does he deliver personally and on time, his drawings and descriptions are exactingly impressive as functionally grounded from his DC Patent Office examiner work history/ experience. I highly recommend Kevin Prince' Quick Patents to any inventor seeking a patent in any technical discipline, at any level.”
“Kevin Prince has been absolutely fantastic to work with on the patent. The way the claims portion was written conveyed a very deep understanding of the technology being patented. QuickPatents did a great job at converting my diagrams and drawings into patent figures. Throughout the process the communication was stellar, and Kevin frequently replied almost instantly to help me navigate the process. The quality of the patent paperwork that was produced is very high, and describes the device quite accurately and in an effective, understandable manner. I'm really blown away by the value QuickPatents provides, and will be a repeat customer in the very near future and beyond. Thank you!”
