Fast, straight forward service. We were a little worried because we had a tight deadline and could not find a lawyer for file for a provisional patent that was going to expire soon in two weeks. We kind of panicked.
Out of Luck, we called Tran and Associates. For a price that was lower than what was quoted with other attorneys, we signed up with Tran with blind trust in someone.
Not only did he respond the next day with a draft of the patent, and all the claims, and he showed understanding of technology and asked few questions. We had the Patent drafted in literally two days, and had everything to go within a week. We weren’t even that ready to patent it too soon, and Tran showed patience and allowed us to take our time in terms of processing.
In terms of communication, Tran is as good as it gets — rarely do I ever have to leave a message for Bao (he picks up the phone 95% of the time, and not a secretary!), and in the events he does not pick up the phone, he responds back with a call within an hour in 99% of those cases. That’s customer service that I really don’t think you can ask from anyone else. Pretty much the same story regarding emails. Bao rarely leaves you hanging on the status.
We added things last minute to the patent at times, and he was flexible, and sent us drafts back within the hour. Expertly knowledgeable about number of subjects, I definitely will be back when we draft out next Patent, or any other matter that Bao will be able to help us with!

I recommend Bao for any patent attorney needs that you may have. He is skilled, knowledgeable, proficient, experienced and kind. He knows his stuff well and you won’t be disappointed.

Bao was immediately on top of my concerns and was very attentive to my needs. He listened and gave me free advice on my situation. I decided not to move forward with my case but if I did I would have been comfortably using Bao and Tran & Associates.

Great attorney with great discount for small business to do trademark. I had him to do trademark for my business name. He followed up with the government office and handled communications. Love to refer him to other small business owners.

I have worked with Bao over the course of 2015. He is one of the most efficient patent attorneys I know as he leverages internally created software tools to streamline his prosecution practice. He has broad knowledge across many technology areas as he has even personally invented 50+ nanoelectronics, mobile communications, smart home, and medical device technologies.
