What Our Clients Are Saying
-
We are a technology-based firm that required a patent attorney that would understand our complex mechanical devices. We came across Richard Eldredge and chose him over other patent attorneys in the DFW area due to his experience as a Mechanical Engineer and legal knowledge. We have been awarded a handful of patents and trademarks through his firm and could not be happier with the customer service and professionalism.
We like that we are charged a flat fee for the projects and not charged every time we call, send emails, have meetings, and the like. We were surprised by this type of service as other firms nickle-and-dime. I highly recommend these guys.

4/09/2018 - Last year I sought out an attorney to help with me with a trademark. I had no idea what I was doing or what to look for. For weeks I called around getting prices and was unsatisfied. Finally, I found Eldredge Law Firm. I worked with Beth. I was amazed at the response time I received,. Each time I called someone answered the phone and were able to assist me. The staff was very nice and pleasant. Beth was very knowledgeable and provided realistic expectations on time frames and what to expect, considering I knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Trademarks. She made the process headache and stress free! She listened to my ideas, and help me narrow it down! She was always accessible either by phone, or email, she replied in a timely manner. Before working with Eldridege Law Firm I have never worked with a lawyer before. I'm so thankful they made the process easy for me and Beth was able to get my Trademark application approved. I can't wait to start using my Trademark!!! I highly recommend this law firm to anyone.
UPDATE: I'm really please to do an update with this Law Firm. I've submitted more paperwork to the trademark office (just routine stuff). I'm still very please to work with this law firm. I like the fact they don't constantly solicit u wanted services to het your money which can be annoying, the prices seem fair. I would definitely come to them with all my service needs. My lawyer I'm working with is Beth. She is friendly, knowledgeable, very helpful, quick response time and very friendly and may I add patient! So far so good I've had great experience. My only regret is I don't live in the same city to thank them all face to face, but one day I hope to meet the staff they have been wonderful!!!

In the Information Age, ideas can be transmitted at the speed of light, and if your proprietary information isn’t protected, it can be stolen just as quickly. Whether you intend to develop your invention or sell your concept to an outside interest, a patent gives you the assurance that the only one who can profit from your intellectual property is you or the people you give permission to. But the U.S. patent process can be both confusing and time-consuming for the uninitiated. A U.S. patent attorney can help you ensure that your intellectual properties are legally protected from theft and counterfeiting.
Most trademark searches perform “preliminary” or “knockout” searches for your trademark through the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) of the USPTO. This trademark search system is a powerful tool that will provide an experience researcher with a quality view of existing or applied for trademarks that a USPTO examiner might use against your application, should you apply to register your own. And, as far as your own application to register a trademark is concerned, the USPTO will only compare your application against registrations already within the register.
