About Chiacchio IP
Chiacchio IP, LLC is an intellectual property law firm at 307 N Michigan Ave in Chicago, serving clients across patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret matters. The practice describes itself as focused solely on intellectual property, offering what it calls 360° Intellectual Property Expertise - guidance that spans both transactional work and litigation. On the transactional side, the firm handles federal trademark registration and U.S. trademark applications, patent protection, copyright questions for authors, musicians, and artists, and drafting of contracts, licenses, terms and conditions, and privacy policies. On the enforcement side, it addresses trademark disputes and infringement litigation, cease-and-desist responses, demand letters, mediation, and trade secret concerns, including the Schedule A lawsuits that have frozen funds for e-commerce sellers.
The client base reflected in the firm’s public feedback is notably varied. It includes small businesses and single-owner LLCs, inventors pursuing a first patent, brand owners securing marks, and international online retailers - several from China - navigating the U.S. legal system for the first time. Reviewers also include a fellow attorney and companies working through partnership dissolutions and infringement claims.
What customers consistently highlight is communication. Reviews describe prompt replies, immediate follow-up on questions, and clear step-by-step explanations from an attorney who lays out options, risks, and realistic outcomes rather than overpromising. Speed recurs as well: one matter was reportedly dismissed within a week, and another trademark application was filed within hours to meet a tight deadline. Reviewers also cite thoroughness, strategic advice, and a willingness to accommodate constrained budgets during a difficult period. The tone of the feedback is that clients feel at ease and confident their matter is receiving close attention - a reflection of the firm’s stated emphasis on pairing IP expertise with client service.
The firm positions itself exclusively in intellectual property, so it is not a general practice for unrelated legal needs.
The office is at 307 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60601. Its listed telephone number is +1312-815-2384. The practice website is www.chiacchioip.com.
