About Project CIP
Project CIP is an intellectual property law firm at 399 N Main St Ste 220 in Logan, Utah, serving entrepreneurs, startups, individuals, and established businesses in Cache Valley and throughout Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Founded in 2013 by Preston Frischknecht, described on the firm’s website as a certified intellectual property specialist registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the firm focuses on high-impact IP counsel at all stages of product and brand development.
Services span IP strategy and portfolio development, trademark application and registration, patent application and prosecution, IP disputes, e-commerce IP, international IP, IP due diligence and transactions, copyright registration, and trade secrets. Trademark-specific offerings include clearance searching, application preparation, registrations, monitoring, opposition, protection, international applications, and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board matters. The website presents a startup-minded approach: personal partner-level attention, transparent pricing, and tailored strategy rather than a large-firm model. The firm’s stated mission is to help innovators protect work with outsize impact, using strategy, leverage, and resource optimization.
Clients describe the practice as knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and thorough. Recurring review themes include clear explanations, practical guidance for those new to IP, and a willingness to take time to understand inventions or brand goals before filing. Several reviewers mention long-term relationships and repeat work on patents, trademarks, contracts, and disputes, including matters involving e-commerce platforms and international needs. Others note that the firm is cost-conscious and straightforward, with a partner-level approach that avoids feeling like a large-firm engagement.
One review reports a strongly negative experience and a dispute over the outcome, while the firm’s owner response says there is no record of that engagement and invites further detail. A four-star review notes that patent and trademark registration can involve significant cost and frustrating initial denials, though it describes those issues as inherent to the process rather than the firm’s fault. Overall, Project CIP appears best suited to clients seeking focused IP strategy, trademark and patent prosecution, and practical counsel from a small Logan-based practice.
The office is at 399 N Main St Ste 220, Logan, UT 84321. Its listed telephone number is +1435-512-4893. The practice website is www.projectcip.com.
