Baxter IP were fantastic in outlining the various patenting options for a pre-revenue start-up. Chris was particularly knowledgeable in the fields of electronics and manufacturing, in addition to his expertise in IP law. Raven IoT highly recommends their service.
I cannot recommend Chris Baxter's skills as a patent attorney highly enough. Chris's strength lies with his ability to work closely with the inventor. Too many patents are open to unlicensed use because a clever copier can avoid infringement by exploiting weaknesses in an invention's specification and claims. Avoiding these weaknesses requires the ability to foresee alternative ways in which the invention could be used without infringing the patent.We recently engaged Baxter IP Patent Attorneys to manage and direct our Intellectual Property needs. We found Chris to be very responsive, committed and diligent in his approach to providing us with direction to matters that became urgent. Chris demonstrated that he could offer creative solutions to solve problems and meet some very tight deadlines. To achieve this it is evident that Chris has valuable skills and knowledge that can only be gained through extensive experience. Chris is currently preparing a global strategic direction for the Popcake suite of products. Chris comprehended future issues, and there are numerous conflicting factors, and reported these to Board of Directors without ambiguity and clear future corporate direction.As a technology company reliant on IP for our success, it is paramount to retain competent and experienced IP advisors and services. Baxter IP Patent Attorneys were able to guide us through our technically demanding patent space quickly and efficiently, while maintaining excellent feedback and communication throughout. We are happy with both the advice and services provided by Baxter IP Patent Attorneys, and will continue to engage Chris and his team for our future IP needs.After receiving an introduction to Chris from a highly respected and successful VC, I found Chris to be a very professional and gifted operator who sincerely desires to deliver a first class job. Upon seeking his opinion on a very detailed and complex matter, I found him to be thoughtful, thorough and able to grasp the vision behind what I asked him to advise me on.We approached Baxter IP Patent Attorneys to work with us on the registration of a patent. During Chris' preliminary searches he found a similar product already in the marketplace that our searches failed to find. Although we were unable to patent our product, Chris's honesty and professionalism saved us thousands of dollars in unnecessary searches and registration fees. If you are looking for a Patent Attorney, I would highly recommend Baxter IP Patent Attorneys.I am very grateful for all the work Naleesha has done on my provisional patent application and PCT draft. Chris has also provided valuable advice throughout this process. Thanks Baxter IP!If this is your first stop while looking for trademark or patent services, I am sure it will be your last stop too. Joanne and Chris are excellent with helping their customers and providing the needed guidance and explanations, and answers to customer's questions.Baxter IP were fantastic in outlining the various patenting options for a pre-revenue start-up. Chris was particularly knowledgeable in the fields of electronics and manufacturing, in addition to his expertise in IP law. Raven IoT highly recommends their service.As you would expect, they provide professional IP and trade mark services, however, from my experience, the value multiplier is their ability to connect ideas with commercialisation through a carefully curated network of supporting services and professionals that come together to realise the true potential of the underlying concepts and create tangible value. Unsurprisingly, I never hesitate in recommending Baxter IP and, in particular, Chris Baxter.I recently filed a patent application with the help of Chris Baxter and his team at Baxter IP Patent Attorneys. Having had no knowledge or experience of how to go about this, I was surprised and relieved by the professional and caring advice and guidance I was given by Chris and Jon, with their help I have been able to take each step to market my product with a lot more confidence. I highly recommend a consultation with Chris and his team as a first step to getting a product patent.Baxter IP was recommended to me and I can understand why. Securing a trade mark and patent for my intellectual property was both exciting and bewildering and Chris clearly explained the necessary steps to obtain both. He was helpful and patient answering many questions through this long process.It is our pleasure to be testament to the absolute Professionalism, Integrity and Expertise, that we have experienced working with Baxter IP Patent Attorneys. Chris has continually gone 'Above and Beyond' in his response to our needs. For us being new to the Patent process, it was very reassuring having Chris give us advice, and keeping us informed and up-to-date every step of the way. We have no doubt that his involvement has considerably improved our chances of success. We look forward to working with him on future projects.The online social networking space that we operate in is highly competitive and is evolving rapidly. Great ideas can lead to enormous competitive advantages but they can also be copied very easily. We wanted a way to protect our inventions from being copied by the competition and patents seemed the most obvious mechanism. As a small business every dollar matters so we thought rather than look for a patent attorney we'd research how to submit a patent application ourselves. The world of patents proved to be a midfield and highly technical. We soon realised it would be a total false economy going it alone and hence we sought out Baxter IP. After engaging Baxter IP and working with Chris and Jon on our patent we felt totally reassured that we were doing the right thing. Because different jurisdictions have different laws regarding the patentability of software our patent was written in such a way that different parts of it would target the different jurisdictions to accommodate local laws. This is something we felt we have gained enormously by using Baxter IP. I'd highly recommend using Baxter IP to any software company that's looking to protect their software inventions.I contacted Baxter IP Patent Attorneys following a previous fruitless, lengthy and expensive experience with one of the large specialist IP firms in a previous business. I have now engaged Baxter IP Patent Attorneys for two projects, one simple, and one complex. In both cases Chris has demonstrated his talent for rapidly gaining a depth of subject understanding and a grasp of the important issues prior to producing and lodging highly regarded patent documents. I have no hesitation in recommending Baxter IP Patent Attorneys.Baxter IP team - Chris, Phil, Kristine, Warren and Julie in particular have done a wonderful job in securing a provisional application and trade marks for my company. I have dealt with many IP firms in the past - in fact most of the larger major ones in Australia - and I would have to say that Baxter IP were the friendliest and best value for money firm that I have utilised. Baxter IP fills a gap by providing large corporate top tier value service, yet are very startup/SME/Tech friendly at the same time. Phil did an amazing job on the provisional and pulled a couple of near all nights in order to get my IP filed by the due date. If you are looking for a personalised service and working with a firm who actually cares about your success, then Baxter IP is definitely the place to go. I will definitely use Baxter IP again.
