他人评价:

“I’ve had nothing but stellar service from Phil. His advice has been helpful, timely and accurate; and he goes above and beyond on every single occasion. Phil and Barker Brettell are the only IP advisors I would consider using.”

Dan Lawrence, Founder/CEO, Durty Media Ltd

“I had the pleasure of working with Phil on a complex EPO Appeal case relating to audio devices and, needless to say, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Working under a limited budget, Phil was able to draw on his strong expertise to help focus our efforts on the primary issues at hand – in the end crafting beautifully presented arguments that felt both very convincing and comprehensive. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Phil and the rest of the team at BB.”
