Giles Lim

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality
Nicholas was fast and professional, got us our patent all examined and certified very quickly. But the good thing was that he had the experience and knowledge on how to respond to IP Australia to get the best possible outcome, all within time and budget.

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Value
I cannot recommend Patentec highly enough! Software Patent is not easy and it is a bit of a grey/uncertain area. After consulting with some other patent firms, I was not confident in my case anymore. I had almost given up but Nicholas changed the story. He is incredibly good and I got even more impressed when I saw his first draft of the patent specification. He not only helped us prepare an awesome patent application but also helped us flesh out the idea, provide extra inputs from his side, update the draft multiple times to incorporate our feedbacks and complete within the original budget (even with some new changes).

John H

Great service and highly recommended. Nicholas returned my call promptly and quickly gained an understanding of our technical requirements without fuss. Our provisional patent was filed within a week of first contact at the agreed price.

Jackie Mobbs

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Nicholas was easy to work with and my provisional patent went through without any issues. I am happy I chose Patentec as other patent lawyers didn’t seem to show much initiative. Nicholas was the only attorney that suggested a confidentiality agreement so that he could understand my product more clearly. Other attorneys were very generic.

Chris Schroefl

Positive: : Professionalism
I was supported by Nicholas who was really going out of his way with regards to guidance and advice on how to getting a patent pre-registered. I would highly recommend Patentec!

Damian King

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Dealing with Nicholas has been incredibly smooth and straight forward. Nicholas is comfortable answering all questions along the way, leaving you feeling confident in his level of knowledge. I am more than satisfied with the level of service provided by Patentec

Steve Prasser

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
After looking at a number of options for Patent Attorneys, we are very glad we went with Patentec. Nicholas has been a pleasure to deal with and very professional throughout the process to secure a provisional patent for our invention, and we look forward to working with him when we move on to the full patent stage.

Victoria Stankeeva

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Nicholas is very professional and helpful. He is a good listener. Strongly recommended if you are looking for any IP service in Australia

Steve Metlitzky

Positive: : Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value
From the very outset, Nicholas made me feel comfortable and clear in terms of the path forward to file our provisional patent. His communication was always professional but at the same time, avoided legal/patent jargon, allowing us to focus on the underlying claims of the patent. His translation of our ‘techy’ detail into patent terms was great and something we would never have been able to do ourselves.
I have previously used expensive patent lawyers but have always found the process arduous, lengthy and very expensive – not the case with Nicholas and Patentec – Highly Recommended and I look forward to using him and the team again.

Rodd Martin, CEO – HumanableCX

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I engaged Patentec to apply for a software patent for my marketing technology software. As not all software is patentable it was very important for us to work with a firm that had experience navigating software related inventions. Initially we needed to discover that what we had invented was in fact patentable, and then to prepare patent specifications from the correct technical perspective. We quickly discovered that software is Nicholas Milne’s sweet spot, which gave us great confidence in the process. We have now lodged and commenced commercialisation of our technology, and look forward to continuing to work with Patentec over the coming 12 months, toward the complete application filing.

I wish I could give Patentec 10 stars! Nicholas is an expert in his field and helped us secure a provisional patent on one of my companies new products.

Positive: : Professionalism
Nicholas made the entire patent process very simple. I was very impressed by his technical knowledge and ability to grasp the idea. Would definitely recommend

Nolan Vargas

Positive: : Professionalism, Responsiveness
To share our idea with whom we’ve never met was frightening but we needed to trust in someone that could help protect our idea. Nicholas and Patentec allowed us to continue developing our product whilst the wheels turned from their end. They were thorough, engaging and direct with the work they needed to accomplish to protect our product design. Quickly, efficiently, professional and trustworthy.

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Was very impressed with how the firm was able to grasp my very technical idea and put it down to paper. To find a firm that can do this with next to zero modifications to the wording in such a short time is rare. They explained the whole patent process very clearly, all the steps were laid out and looking forward to working with them again.

Amanda Dowd

Positive: : Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Nicholas from Patentec willingly answered all of my questions and patiently worked with me to get my idea through the initial stage. Patenting is a long road. You need to partner with someone you trust and who communicates fluidly. I highly recommend Patentec.

Karl Guiney

Nicholas has been fantastic, his processes for gaining understanding and fleshing out the detail of the invention are a credit to his professionalism. He explains clearly and concisely the reasoning behind strategies, advice and decisions that need to be made and always friendly.

Kenneth Austin

If you are like how I was, looking for someone to share your idea or invention with, but are hesitant even scared of having your dream stolen, or simply misused, then take what I say to heart. Patentec and Nicholas are the professional organisation that will take care of your idea, invention and you as far as it can possibly go. Since my very first conversation with Nicholas I had the feeling of confidence that he would take care not just of the idea but of any concerns I may have, he gave me as much information at that time so as not to overwhelm me. He basically told me to read up on information provided. He also arranged a call with a marketing analyst who gave me a survey to perform so I could formulate a unsolicited opinion as to how my idea rated. Once I did my research on information Nicholas ,and marketing research results completed I asked Nicholas to help me with my idea. I was given a detailed cost and stage by stage progress. He gave me constant updates regarding progress with patent application and when I received my first negative feedback regarding patency issue, Nicholas did not agree with this and he gave me options but advised me to re-apply, with this he resubmitted the application and due to his tenacity and expertise professional ethics, he acquired a positive reply back on my application, he has guided me through out this long process, and at times stressful because these ventures are expensive, so let me assure anyone whom has a idea a invention a DREAM, if you give Nicholas at Patentec a call you will be like myself, not just chasing a dream, but watching it grow and become a reality.

Mark Elliott

Great service. Completed my provisional patent through phone and email. My idea was well articulated without having to describe too much detail, having minimal draft reviews. The price was reasonable compared to others in the market and well scoped, having no variation from the original price.

S B

Thanks to Patentec we now have a pending patent for our invention. Patentec took care of everything, the process could not have been easier. Based on our excellent experience with Patentec’s services, I can definitely recommend them.

Dennis Dyer

Faced with the daunting task of applying for a patent for the first time, I was more than pleased to find Patentec and in particular Nick Milne. Nick proceeded to mentor as opposed to lecture me. He made a complex procedure seem easy and was always available to offer advice and guidance. Patentec’s capped price policy is a winner I will continue to use their services.

Moosa Taouk

Very Professional and quick service. truly recommended

Bruce Oppel

I have just completed a patent process with Patentec, specifically Nicholas Milne. He has been very thorough, timely and supportive through the whole process.
