David Conroy, President, Design at Work, LLC, November 2011
“As a product designer, I am always involved with new patents. Mostly patent attorneys are provided by my clients, but whenever I am asked to refer a patent attorney, I readily recommend Michele Liu Baillie. Michele is highly professional; detail oriented, and grasps the product concepts so well that I should consider her a member of the design team. Feedback from my clients has been uniformly excellent, which allows me to continue referring Michele. Her patent writing crosses the need of the legal requirements and the layman’s understanding. Please ask me for a more detailed recommendation.”
Jeffrey and Rebecca Hoffman, Gemini Management, July 2011
“My company recently had the opportunity to work with North Shore Patents and Michele Liu Baillie. The experience was excellent. Michele was organized, knowledgeable, thorough and very supportive throughout the process. Her work has allowed us to take our product design into the patent application process. I highly recommend Michele and North Shore Patent for your patent requirements.”
Kwabena Asante, Principal, Climatus LLC, October 2009
"As a young startup, we needed an experienced patent attorney who would work with us to distill the essence of our system. Michele is both patient and thorough. Her analytical approach allowed us to identify numerous important aspects of our system which we might otherwise have overlooked. We will definitely be using her services again in the future."
Margie Gong, VP, a la Mobile, Inc., January 2009
"On account of her extensive experience with both technology and the patent process, Michele Liu Baillie is the one attorney I have continually called upon over the past 4 years to compose well-thought out patent applications for my corporation. Utilizing her deep technical and legal knowledge, Michele is able to intuit how best to position our technologies in order to minimize potential PTO Office Actions while maximizing the probability the patent will be granted. Her integrity as well as impeccably-professional and straightforward style provide for a near-effortless process.”
Richard Ross, President & CTO, GigaLogix Inc., December 2008
"I've worked with lots of lawyers for over a decade, from the world's biggest law firm to sole practitioners, and I trust Michele with all my important software patent work. The cardinal rule about intellectual property legal work is that it's the lawyer, not the law firm, that matters, and the fact is that Michele is an excellent patent lawyer with strong technical skill. In addition to the obvious legal concerns of patent work, she thinks through important business issues; she is also a pleasure to work with. You can easily spend twice as much with a larger firm, and the work won't be half as good as with Michele. "
Simon Chiu, Principal Scientist, TP Labs Inc. December 2006
"I have worked with Michele for the past year and a half. Michele completed the work of over a dozen patent application during this time, and her work is always timely and of excellent quality. Her insight and guidance are particularly valuable in the area of crafting claims and dealing with prior arts. Compared to other patent attorneys that I have worked with throughout the years, I found Michele's approach to be most effective, including her gentle and creative style that promotes lively and constructive discussion. "
Ken Bui, President, Realivent Inc. December 2006
"Michele was a great resource for us during our software development phase. We were under a tight release schedule and she executed on our plans for a timely filing. As we were new to the patent process she also guided us through the thought process on what to emphasize and what to plan for our future portfolio. Easy to work with and very resourceful."
