I've worked with Marc & Kevin, along with the rest of their team for almost 5 years now and they have been a critical part of our patent process in R&D as well as providing consulting services for handling specific business cases--it's no wonder that our company has been with them for many years beyond. They are extremely responsive, direct, concise, and thorough, when needed. They are a class act in their services and essentially perform as team members on your projects to ensure the right measures taken. I also appreciate their patience in breaking down certain complex legal topics to layman's terms, which makes decision-making a whole lot easier. I highly recommend them for your IP & legal needs.

We have worked with Hankin Paten Law for 13 years now and consider Marc, Kevin, and the rest of the group there part of our own team at this point. We talk almost daily about one thing or another and they are ALWAYS there 24/7 to lend their support. Our patent and trademark portfolio has grown to a very impressive and valuable collection now that has already proven worthwhile and effective in keeping potential violators at bay and infringers paying for their violations. I also have had the unique opportunity to work with Marc side by side in a courtroom and I can attest to the fact that this is "home" for Marc. He comes alive with a passion and vigor I have only seen in the movies and is something to be seen...and feared if you are on the other side. Suffice to say I can without hesitation recommend Hankin Patent Law for all of your IP related legal needs.

For the past 20 years, I've been fortunate to work with a lot of wonderful attorneys from health law, human rights and animal rights. The most outstanding lawyer I've had the privilege of working with is Marc Hankin! He is kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and responsive! I met Marc when we were members of the Los Angeles County Bar Association Bioethics Committee. At that time, we were colleagues, but I soon became his client. I had an intellectual property attorney who was rather out of her depth so I asked Marc if he could help me, and he did! I am so grateful for Marc and all the help he's provided to me through the years. He's an honorable man with so much integrity, and a work ethic that I don't see much today. If you are in need of an intellectual property attorney, Marc Hankin is the only person you need to call.

It is with great enthusiasm that I write this recommendation for Marc Hankin, an esteemed Intellectual Property attorney whose expertise and dedication have immensely benefited my clients. Marc embodies his trademark, "He protects what you have in mind," with an unwavering commitment to safeguarding the intellectual property of those he serves. His proficiency in handling patents, trademarks, and copyrights is unparalleled, making him a trusted guardian of innovation and creativity. Marc's approach to legal challenges is both strategic and compassionate. He possesses a rare blend of kindness, warmth, and deep knowledge, which he leverages to think through every possible avenue for securing the best outcome for his clients. His willingness to litigate cases if it serves the client's best interest demonstrates his dedication to not just winning cases, but truly serving the needs of those he represents. I know because I am also a client, as he secured my trademark: "The Executive Lion Tamer!" Beyond his legal acumen, Marc's ability to liberate trapped ideas and transform them into valuable assets is remarkable. His background as a science teacher, though many decades ago, has endowed him with the exceptional skill to distill complex legal and technical concepts into simple, understandable terms. This talent has proven invaluable in influencing opposing counsel and judges, contributing to his effectiveness in the courtroom. Marc's ability to communicate complex subjects simply is one of the many reasons he has consistently won numerous awards and successfully litigated over 650 cases. His track record is a testament to his excellence and commitment to his clients' success. Marc Hankin is not just an attorney; he is a compassionate advocate, a strategic thinker, and an invaluable asset to anyone needing intellectual property protection. His dedication to his clients, combined with his vast knowledge and experience, makes him an exceptional attorney. I wholeheartedly recommend Marc to anyone seeking top-notch intellectual property legal services.
