About The Kinder Law Group, APC

The Kinder Law Group, APC is an Irvine, California law firm focused on intellectual property law, with a practice spanning patents, trademarks, copyrights, and infringement litigation. The firm presents itself as a Southern California practice with global reach, serving clients from emerging startups to established, globally recognized brands. Its attorneys include Brian P. Kinder, described as a trademark attorney and infringement litigator, and Michael S. Doll, a patent attorney. The firm’s service pages cover trademark applications, clearance searches, filing, monitoring, protection, opposition and cancellation, infringement matters, and trademark litigation, alongside patent and copyright services.

Clients and prospective clients appear to value the firm’s focused approach. The website emphasizes that intellectual property is all the firm does, and reviews frequently highlight Kinder’s clear explanations, direct assessments, and ability to make complex IP concepts understandable. Many reviewers describe consultations as informative and low-pressure, with guidance on options, costs, and next steps rather than a hard sell. The firm offers a free consultation and handles matters such as trademark registration, brand enforcement, cease-and-desist responses, and infringement disputes. Reviewers also mention that the firm works with both small businesses and larger brands, including fashion and consumer-facing companies.

Recurring praise centers on responsiveness, candor, and reasonable or transparent billing. Several reviewers note that Kinder takes time to understand their goals, answers questions thoroughly, and provides realistic cost-benefit guidance. Others mention successful trademark registrations and defense of existing marks. The firm’s website highlights hard-fought case victories and brand enforcement work, including high-stakes disputes against well-funded opposition.

The overall experience described in reviews is professional, approachable, and educational. Clients often say they felt heard and less overwhelmed after speaking with the firm. At the same time, the practice is intentionally limited to intellectual property, so individuals with legal needs outside patents, trademarks, copyrights, or infringement litigation may be referred elsewhere. One critical review describes a communication breakdown after retention, with follow-up messages going unanswered for a period. Most feedback, however, emphasizes knowledgeable guidance and a client-focused approach.

The office is at 19200 Von Karman Ave Fourth Floor, Irvine, CA 92612. Its listed telephone number is +1949-835-5961. The practice website is tklglaw.com.
