BOAG LAW, PLLC

About BOAG LAW, PLLC

BOAG LAW, PLLC is a boutique intellectual property law firm based at 447 Broadway in New York City, serving small business owners, corporations, entrepreneurs and inventors in New York and nationwide, as well as clients outside the United States. The firm’s stated practice areas cover patent applications, trademark applications, IP opinions and searches, M&A due diligence, trademark oppositions and USPTO proceedings, patent IPRs and USPTO proceedings, litigation and IP disputes, and copyrights. Its website frames the work around securing exclusive rights to innovations and brands, and around defensive due diligence to reduce the risk of infringing existing patents and trademarks.

The firm positions itself as a different kind of IP practice: a boutique that offers what it describes as big-firm experience, skills and knowledge paired with the personalized attention of a smaller office. It also states that it works on a fixed-fee basis to avoid billing surprises, while offering hourly rates and accepting a limited number of contingency matters.

Client feedback over 62 reviews, which average 5.00, concentrates on a consistent set of qualities rather than a single specialty. Reviewers most often describe fast and thorough responses, proactive check-ins, and explanations that make patent and trademark procedure understandable for people encountering it for the first time. Several note transparency around pricing and perceived value relative to larger, more expensive firms, and more than one describes working within a stated budget. Repeat engagements are common, with reviewers referencing relationships spanning years and multiple filings, and a number mention referring the firm to colleagues.

The work described in reviews spans patent filings and provisional-to-full conversions, trademark registration and opposition defense, copyright questions, IP disputes and contract-related matters. Trademark defense and litigation appear alongside prosecution, which fits the firm’s stated emphasis on both offensive protection and defensive enforcement. Reviewers also highlight a partner-like posture: being treated as a business with growth goals rather than as a one-off filing.

First, the firm’s identity in reviews is closely tied to founder David Boag, who is named far more often than the wider team, so the relationship may feel anchored to one attorney. Second, the practice is deliberately IP-focused; clients seeking unrelated areas of law would not find that scope here. A reviewer also characterized the approach as laid-back, describing it as helpful rather than a drawback, though clients who prefer a more formal cadence may want to set expectations early.
