“As Albert Einstein said ‘Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler,’ Jim’s patent workshop was simple enough to let everyone grasp the key concepts of patents, but also profound enough to get our attendees to start thinking deeply, thinking critically, and thinking differently. The success of a workshop can be measured by how motivated attendees are to take action after the course, and from that aspect Jim's workshop was great for our team.”

“I first became aware of HLG through their work products. I was licensing a portfolio of patents, and found one series that was a particularly well-constructed picket fence. HLG was the author of that series. After licensing the portfolio, I hired HLG to do our patent work. They are exceptionally skilled, not just at drafting, but at strategy and in delivering substantial value on a limited budget. I highly recommend HLG.”
