Richard was wonderful! He was prompt in responding and very personable regarding a concerning trademark matter.

Richard took me from idea to design to fully tailored prototype & then to fully issued patent! Both Utility & Design!!!!! He's a straight shooter, & his prices were reasonable & he held to his flat fee. & He picks up the phone Now I'm 100% protected & I'm selling on Amazon with total peace of mind against copycats! Thank you Richard!!!! I'll also recommend you to my friends who might need Trademarks for their brands. Richard You Rock! Lauren Lowe, S.F., CA read more

Richard is 2 for 2 on design patents for us! All I can say is the guy went to Princeton and will see things that other patent lawyers do not. I was and am very lucky to have Richard on my side when dealing w Uncle Sam. Here's my thank you to Richard: Richard, That is AWESOME to hear! Thank you! Thank you.! Thank you! You are the man! You are 2 for 2 now! Your Princeton mind delivers again! I am very lucky to have met you a few yrs ago, Richard, and I cannot say enough how honored I am to have your legal brilliance and your creativity delivering these design patents for RepSheet.ai!!! read more

I am commending Atty. Richard Bennett Sales of Foundation Patents, LLP for handling the "Patent Applications of my Invention" (both provisional and nonprovisional patents) @ USPTO properly. Very much satisfied for the results of the services he provided me! ***** read more

Richard did an excellent job submitting my trademark application! It was done so quickly and he was great at communication as well as explanation on the process. Very excited to have worked with him on this!! read more

Thank you so much Richard for your amazing patent skills and knowledge. You are genuinely a great person and your expert knowledge mixed with honest opinions make this process so much easier and less stressful. Im so glad I can count on you and can't thank you enough for everything! read more

Contacted Richard on a Friday night to submit a trademark application. Got a reply the same day (amazing!). We got on a call where we got a full explanation on how things work so we 100% understood everything. Two hours later - application was submitted. Richard is very responsive and quick to respond and knows what he's doing. Highly recommended. read more

Once again Richard secured a design patent for an invention of mine. To date he has gotten us 2 design patents and a trademark. This month we just began working on our 3rd patent. I highly recommend Richard. He is great to work with. He makes things happen. When he says it's a slam dunk, I believe him. read more

We came to Richard regarding a trademark application for our startup. Not only is he knowledgeable but he is very thorough with the details . He walked us through the whole process, expectations, results etc. He kept us updated on the communications from USPTO. A true professional. We have worked with couple of trademark and patent attorneys in the past but Richard excels in all aspects. If you are looking for a trademark or patent attorney, Richard is your guy. read more

I came to Richard to place a patent filing for a device and methodology I had created. He helped me through every step and helped me and my co inventor secure our intellectual property. Since then he has masterfully helped me with every thing I could need, whether it be constructing a contract or licensing agreement for us to use in business ventures or guiding us in the right direction for our long term goals, Richard and his office have done wonders for us. I would recommend anybody who needs to protect their ideas or inventions to call him ASAP. Don't go another day unprotected, you'll instantly feel that huge weight be lifted off your shoulder. read more

Working with Richard Salles was extremely easy, efficient and professional. Always prompt in his replies, and very effective in his communication. Always available to answer questions, even during his vacation. If only every professional of any industry had his work ethic. Highly suggest his office! read more

Before I found Richard, I had hired trademark express, and what a joke they were. Charged me for bogus research and never completed my trademark. What a breath of fresh air Robert was. He means business, one phone consultation and a few questions via email and we were filed, done. No BS. Can't thank you enough Robert! Will be referring other business owners to you! read more

We had a patent application for my son's invention submitted last week. Richard was super efficient with the patent application submission! He ensured that the submission was done prior to a planned public disclosure. He is also keeping on the top of the patent application status at USPTO and providing status updates which is nice :-) In particular, we appreciated the encouragement that Richard provided my son along the way. Thanks Richard! We look forward to engaging with you for your services again in the future. read more

Update January 14. After Richard refused to compensate me, I filed an arbitration request with the San Mateo County Bar Association requesting a ~75% refund of the upfront money I spent. I documented in details why his actions constituted an unjustified breach of contract and listed a pattern of unprofessional behavior. Richard chose to avoid the arbitration process altogether and wrote me a check to settle for the full amount I was seeking. This put this unfortunate experience to an end. read more

Rich responded to my inquiry directly, and within minutes. I was on the phone with him an hour later discussing the preliminary considerations of patenting an idea. He guided me through initial approach and got me pumped about the process. Positive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional. In the end my idea had been covered by another patent. Even though I'm bummed, I'm excited to know I've found my future patent attorney for when the next idea strikes. read more

Richard was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very responsive and understood what I wanted with very little input. Smart, passionate, knowledgeable and fast. Looking forward to working with Richard again soon on the next phase of the project! read more

Richard Bennett has helped us through an entire walk through of a patent project. He has been very accommodating to our working schedule and will explain anything you want. He's awesome! I would recommend him highly. read more

Have now filed my second patent with Rich and things went even smoother this time. Rich answers the phone when you call and if you have to leave a message, he actually calls you back! Communication is key with an IP attorney. Having someone who actually understands what you're talking about is fantastic but not quite as important (to me anyway) as someone who can explain in dummy terms what THEY'RE talking about. Rich answers questions that are probably spelled out in legalese but invisible to my untrained eye, in a cool demeanor, taking the time to make sure I actually understand the answer. It was a pleasure the first time. It's been a pleasure this time and will definitely be a pleasure the next time too. read more

I have had the opportunity to work with two previous patent lawyers on other projects prior to meeting Rich and all I can say is that I wish I would've had met Rich for my previous projects. He is very professional, very knowledgeable, very meticulous and very thorough. From our very first meeting he had a full understanding of my product and was able to provide great feedback. He was great at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop he always responded right away. That is something that I appreciated very much given my previous experience when I wouldn't get a response for several days to weeks. It has been a real pleasure working with him and I feel I finally found somebody with whom I will continue to work in my future projects. read more

Richard was very helpful and friendly. He took his time and spent over an hour with us on our initial call to listen carefully, provide feedback and advice and help us with our legal matter. I recommend Richard if you are looking for someone who will make you feel heard, which is #1 to me! read more

Mr. Richard Bennett Salles is as professional as they come. I met a contractor in my field that had his business name stolen due to having no trademark protections. I did not want to end up in those shoes so I immediately looked on Yelp and found Richard. He got back to me the same day. He was able to educate me on the trademark process and process my application. When I had questions, I sent a message and he returned my calls quickly. His cost was very reasonable and cheaper than previous quotes I had received when I looked into this in the past. Nothing but high praise for Mr. Salles and it makes me feel secure to know that his expertise is available to me should I need his services in the future. Thank you, Richard. I appreciate your excellence and your assistance. God bless. read more

Working with Mr. Salles was a bitter disappointment. I filed a provisional patent with him in 2018. There was no search of previous art and the process was fraught with frustrations on my part due to Mr. Salles habit of disappearing when you most need his assistance. However, the provisional patent was eventually filed, and I felt my invention was safe. Problems began a year later when I reconnected with Mr. Salles to finalize the application for the nonprovisional patent. Upon resuming the process this year, Mr. Salles provided me with a contract for 4 times the cost of the previously contracted non-provisional application. I found my original contract signed in Jan 2018 to Mr. Salles and presented it to him. He agreed in principal but immediately manufactured a series of fictitious legal issues and unilaterally, and without cause, declared the original contract void. (There was no provision in the original for this action!) Now, I'm left without the ability to safeguard my intellectual property and wasted the $4,800 originally paid to Mr. Salles for the provisional patent. In short, a total loss. I would never recommend working with Mr. Salles. At a personal level, he is erratic, unreliable and personifies the worst characteristics of the law profession. I strongly recommend avoiding his services. read more

My partner and I recently worked with Mr. Salles to create and file a patent, and we came away very happy with the services provided to us. The free consultation was invaluable, as it allowed us to assess the potential of our creation without incurring needless charges. Mr. Salles was extremely informative, punctual, and reliable throughout, and helped to make the process as smooth and effective as possible. We are very pleased with the results and expect to continue working with Foundation Patents in the future! read more

Richard is amazing! I called up when I needed a patent and trademark lawyer and him and his team were amazing. They explained the process to me and walked me through everything. Answered all my questions and made sure I knew exactly what was coming and what to expect! I will be using Richard in all my future projects because with him, I know I am in good hands and well taken care of! Highly highly recommend Richard and his team! Thank you guys so much for all your help read more

Useful resource. Free consultation went great. His excitement and was infectious. Most importantly his honest was very refreshing. Will contact him again. read more

Richard is an amazing individual and extremely knowledgable in filing trademarks. I reached out to several other trademark attorneys and Richard was very prompt in reaching out to me and clarifying the process. I was never contacted by any of the other attorneys I had reached out to, and to me lack of communication in any business is a big red flag. Richard was very honest, patient, and his pricing was very reasonable. I plan on doing a lot of business with Richard as my company grows. I would highly recommend Richard as he's a wonderful attorney and a great character! read more

I called Mr. Salles with some questions about my small business and found him extremely, helpful, knowledgeable, and experienced. He saved me a lot of time and money and got straight to the point. I will definitely try him again if need help in this industry. Thanks Mr. Salles! read more

A short phone call was all it took with Richard to get my trademark issues sorted out. I had waited months to deal with it and it was a simple fix. Richard is one of the good ones! read more

Richard is a one of a kind of person who I will always want on my side. He was a complete professional throughout my successful application for a trademark and continues to be as we work on two patent pending prototypes that I designed. Richard is a straight shooter, smart, and willing to work with individual artists like myself. His communication style is straight forward and thoughtful. I am very glad I made an appointment and walked into his office. I am certain our relationship will continue into the future. Highly recommended! read more

Richard was very informative, enthusiastic and helpful. He has a pleasant demeanor and I trust him with my patent. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a patent attorney. read more

Richard has been absolutely incredible and as advertised. Initially, I went to Richard for Trademark assistance. I was so impressed after the successful filing and approval that although I had filed my Provisional Patent through another company I was intent on having Richard submit for my Non-Provisional Patent. Once again, Richard meticulously went through the NPP application and also provided valuable feedback on how to improve the strength of the Patent. Again Richard successfully filed and received approval for my Patent. So to say I am extremely pleased with Richard's service and results is a major understatement. I don't post many comments, generally only if it's something really bad or really good, and luckily this time it is for something really good, excellent job Richard! read more

Richard Salles did great work for me. Fast, highly communicative and economical. I'll be calling him again in the future.
