“Harrity & Harrity is a go-to when it comes to having high-quality patent applications drafted and pending applications prosecuted efficiently. It employs a uniform writing style for applications and responses that is well thought out, and tried and tested at the USPTO – it makes for clearly written, well-organised applications that robustly cover the most important aspects of any invention. It also reduces any rejections that could be attributed to an examiner’s lack of understanding of the invention. The team is very proactive in conducting interviews with examiners, which helps to expedite the allowance of cases. It can quickly and proficiently perform intelligence analyses, which provide real insights into what competitors are doing and how you stack up against them; with this sort of information, you can refine your patenting efforts to best protect your most important technologies.” “One of John Harrity’s strongest attributes is his fast turnaround time on any piece of work – you never have to pester him as to where a matter stands in terms of completion. In fact, he routinely delivers ahead of schedule, while keeping the quality at a very high level. His squad doesn’t have any weak attorneys from a skill set standpoint – they are all easy to deal with and very clear communicators.” “Paul Harrity goes above and beyond of his own volition and is very sharp at tracking examiner behaviour, so he can make informed recommendations about how best to proceed. He is absolutely stringent about quality and is very dedicated.” “We consistently get high praise from our inventor community for what he does,” adds one respondent.
