About The Law Firm of P. Jeffrey Martin, LLC
The Law Firm of P. Jeffrey Martin, LLC is an intellectual property practice based on Sea Mountain Highway in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, serving inventors, businesses, and research and technology clients well beyond the state line. The firm describes a nationwide client base and lists representation across dozens of states, from the Carolinas and Georgia through the Midwest, Texas, California, and the Northeast.
The practice centers on patents: searches, provisional and utility filings, design patents, and international patent protection. Trademarks and copyrights are handled as well, alongside licensing, assignments, enforcement, and foreign patent protection. Attorney P. Jeff Martin’s stated technical range covers consumer products, mechanical, chemical, and pharmaceutical work, plus emerging areas such as biotechnology, drug delivery systems, medical devices, and electronics - a breadth that reviewers connect to his science background. Clients range from small-entity inventors to larger research, technology, and development organizations. The site also offers downloadable Inventors Guide, Record of Invention, and Record of Trademark resources, and an email form for describing a case.
Reviews are largely positive, with 4.5 stars across 18 ratings at the time of writing. Recurring praise focuses on responsiveness, clear explanations of filing steps and timelines, up-front discussion of costs, and the ability to grasp an invention’s technical details and translate them into claims. Several reviewers describe repeat engagements - multiple patents, or trademark work following earlier patent projects - and mention meeting deadlines and orderly handling of paperwork.
The atmosphere described is personable and hands-on rather than impersonal: clients note direct conversations with the attorney, encouragement through a lengthy process, and work with both the inventor and others within a company.
Limitations appear in the record as well. The feedback is not uniformly positive; one detailed negative review alleges a missed continuation-in-part filing date, an abandoned patent, and a dispute over fees paid. Review coverage also concentrates heavily on patent and trademark matters, with comparatively little discussion of the firm’s other listed areas such as copyrights, licensing, and enforcement.
The office is at 2120 Sea Mountain Hwy #2201, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582. Its listed telephone number is +1843-280-2400. The practice website is www.scpatentattorney.com.
