About Hollowell Patent Group
Hollowell Patent Group is a patent and intellectual property firm with offices in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Nashville, Tennessee. The practice operates through a hybrid model that combines in-person service with virtual and remote capabilities, and its team of licensed attorneys and agents is distributed across the United States. Led by Dr. Kelly Hollowell, the firm has served clients for more than two decades and reports issued patents in over 100 countries, more than 1,000 patents granted over 20 years, and a 98% success rate obtaining issued patents. The website states the team has more than 150 years of combined experience.
The firm works with inventors, companies, and general practice law firms. Its patent services cover consumer products, computer and software inventions, renewable energy, medical devices, mechanical systems, pharmacology and drug delivery systems, fitness, health and beauty products, electrical technologies, DNA and stem cell technology, chemical inventions, emerging technology, and design patents. Beyond patent prosecution, Hollowell Patent Group offers trademarks, contracts, litigation support, Amazon IP infringement matters, and IP licensing services. Trademark offerings include search and clearance, registration, filing and prosecution, monitoring, and broader trademark attorney representation.
Clients frequently praise the firm for technical depth and for handling complex subject matter. Reviews describe work at the intersection of AI, IoT, and InsurTech, as well as difficult examiner situations in which Dr. Hollowell personally advocated for the client. Communication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and the ability to explain complex concepts in understandable terms are recurring positive themes. Reviewers also highlight personalized service, compassion, and a genuine interest in client success.
The firm markets transparent pricing, flexible delivery models, and client-focused solutions. It offers a free consultation, does not impose billable hour quotas, and states that routine phone calls and updates are not charged. The website also notes routine visits with clients. In an owner response, the firm mentions discounts for military, first responders, and first-time inventors.
Feedback also reveals some friction. One prospective client reported a missed Zoom consultation, which the firm attributed to a winter storm power outage and says it attempted to address by phone. Another caller described a poor phone interaction after requesting lower pricing; the firm says it could not accommodate the requested reduction and points to its competitive pricing and discount options.
