American Patent Trademark Law Center

I worked with Karen Convery to register a trademark. Having no knowledge of the process, I found that she was so helpful. She explained each step of the process very clearly (and patiently!). My trademark was registered with no complications, there was no need to go back and fix anything. I can confidently recommend her to anyone with trademark or patent issues.

I’m not an inventor, per se, but I get a lot of ideas, and this last one I decided to run with. Which meant I needed to look into patent and trademark protection. I’ve managed most of my life to avoid lawyers, not to the point of Shakespeare’s injunction in Henry VI (a play written a few hundred years ago), but Mr. Harms came to me by word of mouth from another inventor. With some trepidation, I made the call, worried that I’d be down 1K just hanging up the phone. I was pleasantly surprised at how helpful and actually fun Mr. Harms is to work with. His office is a playground of inventions and fun stuff and he enjoys some creative brainstorming, himself, when I fessed up that I am really in the formative stages of my business. He gave me the flat figures straight up and a lot of sound advice about how to go forward, speaking from his copious experience. I really appreciated it. I didn’t have that anxiety of sitting in a very dull, hyper-​patent leathered (hah) lawyer-​shark office with the clock ticking a chunk every fifteen minutes off my admittedly spare checking account. So, thus far into this adventure, I feel like I will be getting excellent value for his Law Center services and lots of bonus advice, too. (And I’m pretty sure Shakespeare meant that only for the bad lawyers. He would approve of Mr. Harms & Co.)

We have turned to Karen for a number of trademark filings and have received outstanding service every step of the way. She is a wealth of information regarding the trademark process and was always available if we had any questions. Her experience in dealing with the US Patent and Trademark Office was a great help to us. She prepared our trademark application so that it had the best possible chance of being approved… and it was! It seems to us that Karen, and the patent attorney, Donn, put the welfare of their clients first. That is why we will continue to use them for our trademark and patent needs.

Karen is terrific! I was nervous about spending money on a trademark that might get rejected because of ambiguity. However, she did three things right: She set appropriate expectations, talked about strategy if we hit an approval bump, and covered all the bases of what my business and trademark would cover. It is a huge benefit to have an expert complete the complicated paperwork. The process took seven months, but I’m really happy. I was nervous about engaging a law service remotely and online… but it worked.
