Amazing experience, made the entire process easy and worry free. Never made me feel like I was being over bearing with any questions that I had. I’m a very go go person and do things right when they are asked and Needed, Dave matched my pace to a T. For future use they will be the only ones I will use and refer to anyone. Thank you again Dave for everything you have done, really appreciate it!!

Underwood & Associates is by far the best patent firm I have worked with. Dr. Underwood is a great communicator and was quick to learn the nuances of my invention despite it both being one of the more complex mechanical examples in my field of work and from an entirely different field of study than his primary body of experience. He is very proficient at identifying all novel material in an idea and enhancing the invention beyond what I have come to expect from patent agents and attorneys. I also very much appreciated the concise fruitful meetings, streamlined editing process, and the many other details that contributed to the efficient use of both my time and his. It is safe to say I will be returning in the future (presuming my brain does not stop working entirely), since I am fairly certain I will not find this level of quality again at such a reasonable price based on past experiences. Thanks again!

I have recently used Underwood & Associates to file a provisional patent and I must say that they really made the entire process a walk in the park. They made me feel comfortable the entire time and were able to answer any question with regards to this process. They were very clear about their cost estimations and provided breakdowns upfront. The best part was the cost. When compared to other firms, I can assure you that U&A will be hard to beat and am sure they will provide the same detail and effort as any other firm out there. I will be sure to continue using U&A on future projects.

I'm at David Underwood a few years back by word of Mouth from a friend of a friend.
Talk about ABSOLUTE professional. Wow. 1st class service. Underwood and Associates always kept me in the loop. Communicate with people, and treat them with 1st class as well. Which difficult to find especially here in Chicago.
All this happened just by phone. Yes by phone. I was in Chicago and David in Minnesota. We met in person while he was visiting here in Illinois. Again same
professionalism as on the phone. Great guy.
Great experience, great people, and exceptional service. Underwood and Associates is the law firm to do business with for all your intellectual needs. Which is why I have them on speed dial.

Thanks guys for all that you have done. See you soon again for patent #2.

Dave at Underwood and Associates has provided patent filing services for Eden Medical for many years. He does a very good job of searching out prior art, providing recommendations for patent strategy and following through with the patent application. He has successfully helped us through the process of negotiating with the USPTO to clarify our patent claims and convince the attorney of our unique property over prior art work. He works hard to find solutions for positioning the patent details into a strong offering for licensing and business leverage.

Hi Mr Underwood, I must share that, in my search to obtain a patent protection it was a bit overwhelming. And to be honest, sort of a fearful presuit. However, your name came highly recommended to me, by an associate. So I decided that I would give you a call. As the phone was ringing I thought to myself, these guys will treat me just like the typical Washington DC patent attorneys. However, I was pleasantly surprised when speaking to you, that you were concern about developing a relationship, moreso than just making a dollar. You were very professional, competent and thorough. Every deadline and promised you fulfilled. You have a team of highly skilled agents and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I am also a Pastor of a large ministry and everyone who walks into my office can see your work, which is proudly displayed on my wall. Your services were impeccable. And for anyone who might be seeking a US Patent, I highly endorsement U&A. You will be very pleased! Thank you Mr Underwood.

My experience with U&A could not have went better . I was quickly brought up to speed on how the patent process works . Then with remarkable speed and efficiency my idea was protected and the prospect of receiving a patent had begun . I found U&A a pleasure to work with and would recommend them to anyone who wants their idea to become a reality.
