‘Zvi Jacobson is one of the best patent attorneys I have ever encountered.'
‘I work mainly with Edith Sokol. She is flexible, very responsive, detail-oriented, and supportive. Meetings with her are always short but extremely productive and informative. She is always well-prepared. She shows excellence at every step of the patenting process, starting from the initial call with a general discussion of the idea, through to analysis, to writing the application, to maximizing the value of the patent through the filing procedure, including recommendations concerning application timing.'
‘Mirit Lotan is extremely knowledgeable and very responsive, even on short notice. I rely on her to assist with IP, particularly in bio and pharma. Her advice has been very useful and practical.'
