About Outlier Patent Attorneys, PLLC
Outlier Patent Attorneys, PLLC is a patent attorney practice located at 500 S 8th St in Boise, Idaho. The firm is singularly focused on patents and does not handle trademark, copyright, contract, or litigation work in-house; instead, it refers clients to a network of vetted legal experts for those non-patent matters. Its Boise office positions the practice within the region’s growing technology and startup ecosystem, and the firm describes itself as providing patent and legal support to help elevate local tech businesses. The team includes Silicon Valley-trained patent attorneys Adam Hipp and Samar Shah. According to the firm’s website, prospective clients can schedule a free strategy call, during which the firm may share results from its data visualization tool and patent valuation tool based on competitor and keyword information related to an invention. Outlier also produces a podcast called Patent Strategy Scorecard and publishes resources tied to Boise’s tech, startup, and venture community. The practice appears best suited to inventors, software creators, startups, and established tech companies seeking patent filing options, provisional patent guidance, and broader IP protection strategy. Review feedback consistently emphasizes responsiveness, patience, and clear communication during the patent process. Clients have described consultations that explained patent filing options for software, guidance on bringing an idea to market while protecting it, and advice on drafting patents to address future vulnerabilities. Reviewers also note strategic insight into provisional patents and IP protection that helped avoid costly mistakes in time and money. The firm’s referral practice for non-patent legal needs has been noted positively, including an instance where a client was introduced to an attorney specializing in a different area. Limitations include the firm’s deliberate focus on patents, meaning clients with trademark, copyright, contract, or litigation needs must be referred elsewhere.
