About Us

Qualified Patent Attorneys

I was very pleased with the results of my dealings with Coastal Patent. The managing partner was extremely responsive and courteous. I got all of my questions answered in a timely fashion and most importantly, they GOT THE JOB DONE.

I had Coastal Patent register a trademark for my business. The USPTO process is somewhat opaque in nature, so I had many questions; Coastal Patent patiently answered all of them so I could better understand exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

Cy is one of the best colleagues I've had the pleasure of working with. I had the honor and opportunity to work with him for five years and witness all of the improvements, efficiencies, and fresh ideas he brought to the team whether it be for operations, product development, project management, or engineering. He is extremely talented, versatile, and driven. I found him to be respectful and professional with a positive, can-do attitude. He brings the highest caliber of professionalism, dedication, and integrity to the office. He is a truly inspirational leader and team player, and I highly recommend him.

I filed my first International PCT with Cy today. He has been very informative and diligent throughout the process and I feel confident about my ideas being protected. Despite my late additions, Cy was very adaptable while also shielding me from my own mistakes. We were able to get a late independent claim in and still file well before the deadline.
