About Nyman IP LLC

Nyman IP LLC is a boutique intellectual property law firm based in Chicago’s Loop at 20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 1200. The firm serves businesses of all sizes, with particular emphasis on startups, inventors, entrepreneurs, and creative teams that need to protect the ideas, brands, and innovations driving their growth. Its work spans patent, trademark, copyright, domain, and broader intellectual property matters, including trademark applications, examinations, international filings, maintenance, searches, and protection strategy. The firm also assists with agreements and portfolio development, helping clients build and manage IP assets over time.

A defining feature of Nyman IP is its technology-forward approach. Founded by an electrical and computer engineer, the firm positions itself as an efficient, modern alternative to traditional legal models. It emphasizes using current technology and search tools to provide high-quality representation with strong access to information. In most cases, the firm prices legal services through a competitive fixed-rate flat fee model rather than open-ended hourly billing. Clients can also use a client portal for communication and document exchange, which supports a more streamlined working relationship.

The firm’s stated focus is on growing businesses. It helps clients identify brands ready for trademark protection, technologies and innovations that may be patent eligible, and agreements needed to conduct and expand a business. Nyman IP describes its role as in-house counsel on demand, scaling resources to match client needs. From preliminary opinions on whether an invention or brand is worth pursuing to the drafting and examination of patent, trademark, and copyright applications, the firm aims to support clients across the IP lifecycle. It also works with clients on IP strategy and portfolio building, with the goal of protecting ingenuity, branding, and artistic creativity.

Review feedback repeatedly highlights attorney Scott Nyman and the team for responsiveness, clear advice, professionalism, and technical knowledge. Clients often mention efficient filing processes, careful attention to detail, and help navigating complex or first-time trademark and patent matters. Several reviewers note the value of fixed-cost or flat-fee arrangements, describing them as business-friendly and predictable. Others point to strategic guidance and ongoing support after filings. The Chicago Loop office operates by appointment only, and the firm states that its fixed-rate model applies in most cases, not necessarily every engagement.
