Specific praise appears for Ted Karr, Oleg Salakhov, Elizabeth, and Angel in connection with trademark filings, patent prosecution, USPTO matters, NDA review, and disputes involving Amazon or opposing brands. One reviewer credited the firm with helping avoid signing an NDA, while another described a hard-fought USPTO patent matter that resulted in a notice of allowance. A smaller share of feedback notes a front-desk inquiry that did not yield information about attorney specialties; the firm responded that this may have been a phone issue and offered a free consultation.
