I have been working with Ted Karr from the Berkeley Law & Technology Group over the past year and highly recommend him. He created all the contracts for my software company and provided invaluable legal advice. Ted is always quick to respond, very professional, and extremely good at what he does. I particularly appreciate his attention to detail and ability to easily explain complicated legal concepts. Having Ted on our team has undoubtedly contributed to our success.

This team is impressive. They epitomize service and domain expertise. Delivering more than a handful of patent filings for us under strict time and budgetary constraints, they far exceeded our expectations. Berkeley's team earned every one of their 5-stars. Each star reflects their dedication and hard work, matching our team's commitment, making us feel like they were an extension of our company. They provided invaluable, timely advice, and worked tirelessly to meet their promises. There is simply no need for us to work with anyone else.

I was thoroughly impressed by Ted's deep grasp of patent law, especially in utility and design patents. His expertise was evident in every conversation, guiding me seamlessly through the process. With Ted's knowledge and guidance, I felt secure knowing my patents were in expert hands. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend the Berkeley Law & Tech Group. I have had the pleasure of working with Ted and his team on a recent patent application for my company. This was the first patent that I wrote and one thing Ted and his team did really well was explaining the entire process for me. They made themselves available throughout the process to help answer any question I had and helped with the technical writings as well. Not only are they super knowledgeable but they also made the process fun for me and my team. Do not hesitate to reach out to this group. I highly recommend working with them.

Our company (VC-backed software) partners with BLTG for our IP needs, in particular trademark and patent work. They are a fantastic firm and group of people across the board (attorneys, paralegals, and their other professionals). They are responsive, reasonable, and bring focus on our business needs rather than rigid legal guidelines. This is not surprising given their backgrounds in both private-practice firms and in-house work.

We work with Ted Karr on TM side and he is a stellar attorney, providing perspective on how we should approach our branding and products. Love working with him. For patents, we work with Oleg Salakhov and Calvin Wells - they somehow make claims calls fun and educational (particularly for me as it is well outside my scope). Looking forward to working with them further this year and beyond. Highly recommend BLTG for your IP needs.
