As a business owner, finding the right legal experts for the job can be quite difficult. Actuate IP had my trademark case handled from the moment I sent the first email. Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with, nothing was an issue, and one of the rarest traits to come by - her communication speed was PHENOMENAL. I never felt that I was being left in the dark, nor did I wait days to hear from her. She lead me through each step of the way with clear steps as to what the options are, what would happen etc. I could not recommend Jennifer and her firm enough for the work she has provided for my business

Actuate IP's fixed fee proposal along with "unlimited access" is a farce. They will bill you for services you didn't agree to as if you've written a blank cheque and are not in contact when you ask. More importantly, the legal advice I received employed the strategy of prolonging contention and drawing out the process (to prolong the use of their services). I ended up settling this matter myself directly and paying far too much for inconclusive information that didn't resolve the matter. The learning is this - whoever has the greater funds is legally correct.

I've had a very good experience dealing with Jennifer Driver at Actuate IP. Firstly the fees are detailed up front so you know what to expect at every stage of the trade mark process with no hidden and extra charges. We were given good advice on how to initially TM our brand name / logo so as to get a better chance of a success TM. After that we were given clear and concise options about international TM which was easy to follow and understand. Any questions or clarifications were quickly responded by email or phone call. I have no hesitation in recommending Actuate IP.

We have been with Actuate IP for the domestic snd International Trademarking of our branding from the beginning and recently required their services for resolving a potential litigation issue over trademark breach from a US Company. Colin and team were professional and attentive and resolved the issue with a very reasonable and satisfactory outcome. We will continue to use Actuate IP for all future issues of protection of Intellectual Property, thanks Colin
