Paul D. Gornall – Lawyer/Patent Agent - ELC Law Corp.
[-Prepared 26 draft patent specifications with drawings & performed relevant prior art searches as needed-]
"We have worked with Brian for 14 years on a number of projects. He understands the process & quickly grasps what we are trying to achieve. He has done a number of searches & provisional patent applications, some of which we pursue to full patent & some are dropped for commercial reasons. I have no issue recommending him. Smart, quick, honest & far cheaper than a patent lawyer." Chris Blundell PEng. – President/Founder - Compact Compression
