As a tech startup founder in San Jose, navigating our first major patent application was daunting. We engaged Michael C. Sweeney at Wilmer Hale based on a colleague's strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Despite his relatively short time in practice, Michael's command of intellectual property law is immediately apparent. He guided us through the entire process with a clarity and strategic foresight that belied his years of experience. Michael meticulously prepared our application, anticipating potential examiner objections we hadn't even considered. His work was precise, thorough, and communicated in terms we could understand, without ever oversimplifying the complex legal landscape. The fact that he has already been recognized by Best Lawyers in Intellectual Property Law speaks volumes about his caliber. The outcome was a robust, well-defended patent that secured our core technology. Michael is not just a brilliant legal mind; he is a genuine partner who is invested in his clients' success. His professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to translate complex IP concepts into actionable business strategy were invaluable. We have absolute confidence in his counsel and will rely on him for all our future intellectual property needs.
