I have retained Robert (Bob) Downey since 1991 to represent me and conduct prior art searches and evaluations, draft and file US and international patents applications (14 and counting), research and register trademarks. Bob has always given me sound, timely legal advice on an unusually wide array of potentially patentable areas to include a phone design, a video game control system, green energy locomotive power system, and several unrelated aviation system applications.
Bob has always given me thorough, insightful IP legal advice, under-promising and over-delivering. I recently had Bob draft two applications in an area I don't think he had ever worked before and he nailed both drafts and related illustrations well beyond my expectations. He recently negotiated directly with the USPTO examiner(s) to insure that DoD related security reviews were completed in a timely manner, preserving my international patent application filing rights.
Bob's communications skills are outstanding - always providing precise, intelligent insights at the lay level and avoiding unfamiliar legal and IP jargon. (And what makes this really exceptional is that I moved out of the South Florida area in 1993, and last interacted with him in person in 1994; everything I have done with him since then has been via mail, email, and phone conversations).
I have always had good experiences with Bob's business (billing) practices, to the point I think he may undercharge for his services. Perhaps most importantly, I have complete trust and faith in Bob's fiduciary judgement, and never had the slightly doubt that he was acting in my best legal and fiscal interests. I hope never retires because I couldn't imagine working with another IP/patent attorney.
We have been working with Robert for our patent and trademark matters for over 10 years. During that time, we have been issued over 30 patents and many trademarks. Robert is very knowledgeable in the field, and extremely easy to work with. He listens to our requests and fully answers all our questions. His billing practice is very fair. We highly recommend Robert.
