Robert Plotkin is an outstanding patent attorney. He understands computer technology better than most and he's a gifted patent attorney. With his patient support and in-depth questioning, we've obtained patents with very broad claim protection that many thought would never be issued. Under his guidance, we've obtained numerous US and foreign patents. Based on really solid foundational specifications, we've been able to broaden and strengthen the level of protection provided by these patents. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience we've had with BlueShift IP and Robert Plotkin."

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2023Robert Plotkin of Blueshift IP provided top notch communication and writing skills to us. This was our first attempt to apply for a patent, and Robert was always patient, informative, and considerate of our limited understanding of the process. He took the time to fully understand our ideas while diligently working with us to formalize them in writing. If your are looking for a patent attorney, definitely consider the services of BlueShift IP.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2004-2022My colleagues and I have relied on Robert Plotkin for skilled patent prosecution support for almost two decades. During this time, with Robert’s help, we’ve applied for and been granted over twenty patents. Robert has an admirable ability to guide the patent application process. He not only helps craft the application, he trains inventors and applicants in understanding the patent application process. While he is capable of writing an entire application from scratch simply by listening to an inventor describe an invention (and asking probing questions), Robert also teaches inventors how to participate much more actively in the application preparation process. Robert is also an invaluable guide to applicants responding to Office Actions and speaking directly with patent examiners. In short, Robert is a skilled, congenial, and trusted partner in our patent application process.

Highly proficient and astute, Attorney Plotkin has successfully obtained multiple patents across all major regions for MAID Systems and obtained broad, strong claims to prevent our competitors from designing around our patents. Attorney Plotkin continues to meticulously manage our company IP strategy and has preserved our right to obtain additional patents through the use of continuation applications in multiple countries. As Chief Executive Officer of MAID Systems, I highly recommend Attorney Plotkin and Blueshift IP for any company seeking the very best legal representation and management of their IP portfolio.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
