Martin IP Law Group

About Martin IP Law Group

Martin IP Law Group is an intellectual property law firm with an Evansville office at 225 Court St and a second location in Carmel, Indiana. The practice centers on patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and extends into intellectual property due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, investments, and licensing transactions, IP strategy development, and fractional IP counsel structured as ongoing support rather than the cost of a full-time lawyer.

The firm serves entrepreneurs, startups, small and medium-sized businesses, and individual inventors. Its attorneys describe themselves as entrepreneurs as well as lawyers, and frame their guidance around budget, timing, and return on investment rather than legal analysis in isolation. Named team members include Rick Martin and Olivia Dimmett, while client-facing staff such as Jennifer Moorhead appear repeatedly in client feedback.

The service range covers patent prosecution; trademark selection, clearance searches, U.S. applications, and registration with the USPTO; trademark monitoring, enforcement, cease-and-desist letters, infringement disputes, and acquisitions; and copyright registration and enforcement for works including books, art, industrial designs, and software. Trade secret work includes developing programs to protect confidential formulas, compilations, methods, techniques, and customer lists. The firm also maintains a blog, newsletters, FAQs, and free resources, and Rick Martin has authored a book on building an intellectual property portfolio.

Across 112 public reviews, the firm holds a 5.00 rating. Recurring praise centers on responsiveness, clear explanations of complex filings, and follow-through on commitments - including one client noting that an NDA was prepared quickly during the holidays. Multiple reviewers single out the Evansville office staff for attentive communication and accurate proofreading, and several describe being guided through trademark, copyright, and patent applications step by step. A licensed attorney reviewing the firm noted reasonable fees and a preference for hiring Martin IP over handling the work personally.

The client base skews toward brand owners and inventors rather than general legal matters, since the attorneys concentrate on intellectual property. Patent work in particular can run long: one reviewer described roughly eighteen months of back-and-forth with the patent office before a patent was set to issue. Review evidence also clusters around trademark and copyright filings, with less public detail available on the firm’s due diligence and trade secret engagements.
