About James Lowe Law
James Lowe Law is a New Berlin, Wisconsin patent and trademark practice led by James Earl Lowe, Jr., a registered U.S. patent attorney (Registration No. 30,402) who has been licensed in Wisconsin since 1982. The firm serves inventors, entrepreneurs, and businesses in New Berlin and the greater Milwaukee area, handling patent applications, trademark registrations, copyright registrations, and related intellectual property matters alongside business-related legal issues. The first phone consultation is free.
Lowe’s background is the practice’s defining feature. Before opening his own office, he served as Chief Patent Counsel for two major manufacturers, Joy Global and A.O. Smith, where he built and managed patent and trademark strategy for companies with global operations. He holds a B.S. and an M.S. from Purdue University and a J.D. from Indiana University, and is AV Preeminent rated by Martindale-Hubbell. His site states he has prepared and prosecuted thousands of patent applications spanning software, semiconductors, medical devices, and heavy machinery.
Reviewers describe working directly with the attorney rather than through layers of firm staff. Responsiveness appears repeatedly: quick email replies, an answered weekend call, and a pace clients considered faster than prior experiences with other attorneys. Several mention that the process is explained in plain language, that expectations about approval odds are set honestly, and that time and cost are handled transparently. Successful outcomes run through the feedback as well, including a patent approved on the first attempt and trademark applications that reached approval, with some clients returning for later filings.
The office sits at 5465 S Nicole Ct in New Berlin, with posted hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and contact by phone, text, or email; online bill pay is offered. One reviewer notes an in-person meeting arranged at a location of the client’s choosing. Because the practice centers on a single attorney, the relationship tends to stay consistent from consultation through filing, and reviewers frequently frame that continuity as the reason they plan to return.
