With our focus on helping clients obtain expedited handling of their patent applications, the average pendency time of patent applications handled by our firm over the past five years has been about 12 months, with many patents issuing within 6 months of filing.

Here’s What Our Clients Have To Say
Steve Machiorlette, CEO Worth Beauty LLC
I started working with Brient IP in 2011 when our company was in its infancy. We knew we had a great idea and needed help with protecting our product, industrial designs, and brand. The team at Brient IP helped us put together a comprehensive strategy for protecting our IP, and then worked with us to implement it. While working closely with us to apply for and receive multiple utility patents, design patents and registered trademarks, the team helped us anticipate and address potential opportunities and pitfalls in the patent and trademark landscape. This proved extremely helpful as our product, the Blendsmart rotating makeup brush, became a bestselling item on QVC in both the U.S. and Europe and was listed on Oprah’s Favorite Things. I would highly recommend Scott and his team. Read Less
