Suhail E. PCT application & claims
For me, searching patents online is simple (anyone can search at USPTO). Finding someone to discuss expired and current patents was very difficult. Ben is the guy. We review and discuss the relevant patents and their applications. Ben checks my work and takes it further when necessary. Ben has also quickly and expertly prepared and filed a Provisional Patent for me. Ben is 5 Star.
