Bao is a “creative patent attorney with technical expertise in the area of system engineering and software as pertains to medical device and communications applications.” Amir Abolfathi, CEO, Sonitus Medical Inc.

“During my 35 year career I have been involved with developing numerous new products and protecting my work with patents. A colleague introduced me to Bao and recommended him as a seasoned patent attorney. I sent Bao a new invention that I wanted to have patented and was delighted by his performance.

Since then I have used Bao Tran for all of my patent work and have found him to be consistently knowledgeable, prompt, responsive, efficient, and thorough in his work products and his advice - for both US and international patents. His ‘customer support’ is, without exaggeration, extraordinary!”

Duane Durbin, President IOS Technologies, Inc.

“I first worked with Bao more than 7 years ago. Since then, Bao has been my IP lawyer of preference. I worked with some other IP lawyer firms in between for other reasons (such as recommended by my investors) but I always ended up coming back to him. Once you get used to the punctuality and responsiveness of Bao, it's hard to work with anybody else.” Jesse Kim, CEO, Vapro, Inc.

"Micro Mobio is a fabless semiconductor company engaged in design of radio IC for wireless communications. We have retained Tran and Associates as our patent agent since Nov 2002. Since then, Mr. Tran has been instrumental in helping Micro Mobio build up its IP portfolio.

Mr. Tran provides us with valuable services in advisory and implementation of IP strategy, including filing and prosecuting patent applications. With a background in electrical engineering and patent laws, he converts the our engineers' invention into patents promptly and cost-effectively. To date, he and his associates have filed numerous patent applications for us, with numerous patents granted from USPTO."

W. Wang, Managing Partner, Micro Mobio, Inc.

“Bao has done an outstanding job drafting, filing and arguing the patentability of my patents. He has also been a valuable resource in finding ways to make money from the invention. His large network of business associates has made it possible for him to introduce the product and concept to potential investors and professionals who are able to take a good idea to its fullest potential. How often do you hear about a patent attorney doing PR for an invention that he filed a patent on? Although PR is not his specialty, the results he achieved were better than I would have expected.” Mike Nero, Founder and President, Naturell Inc.

“I engaged Bao for 2 patent apps, Bao was able to draft high quality patent application files within short period with appropriate, sometimes detailed technical description. His work is high quality at very reasonable cost, and Bao has demonstrated both his tech and legal skills to deal with complicated patent issues. I would engage him again for new patent apps.” Mike Mu, CEO Softroute Corporation (www.softroute.net)

“Bao is very responsive and gets things done fast. He's good at grasping concepts and generating patent content.” Wesley Cheng, VP, ServicePower, Inc.

“When I was at NEC, Bao was contracted to write several of my patents. I had used previous contracted patent attorneys in the past, and Bao set a new gold standard. His skills are phenomenal. Working with Bao has been a pleasure. He was able to push multiple patents through, with low (relative to experiences with other patent attorneys) work on my part - and all with the utmost of integrity. He is able to effectively work with the patent office to help get things done right. One specific story: Bao contacted me because a patent which was filed four years earlier was being processed by the patent office (who of course tried to reject it). He recalled conversations I had had with him years earlier, and correctly described the actual intention of the invention, the details of how it worked, and quickly wrote up a detailed technical response - my job was to approve his response. I was astounded at his ability to recall so much, and to so quickly produce such an accurate document - with so little work on my part. I strongly recommend Bao for all things related to Patent work.” Dr. Eric Glover, former Researcher, NEC Research, now Classification Architect of Searchme.com
