Client Reviews
"Roland helped me file my statement of use for my trademark. He was great at communicating during the process, and made the whole process quick and simple. His rates were also the best! I highly recommend his for your trademark needs."
"I trusted Roland Tong because of his experience and expertise in Intellectual Property Law. He was able to explain to me the overall process and my options regarding my case in terms that I could understand. He is a proven winner. He made me feel at ease right away and took care of all matters of the case along the way, offering professional advise and most importantly a winning strategy. Glenn C."
"I had a very positive experience with Roland with an unusual patent filing. I had a patent that ended up in a complicated state after my previous patent attorney decided to stop their practice. Roland was clearly quite knowledgeable in the field, and help me and my partners get the patent through to final issuance by the Patent Office. He took the time needed to clearly explain all options available to me, and listened to and respected my requirements and preferences. Very helpful!"
