Testimonials

On several occasions I have had the pleasure in discussing business options with Andrew and found him to be very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable in IP Law. He has helped me in making some key decisions with regards to my IP related business ventures. Andrew amazingly enough, finds time for people who need his expertise no matter how busy he is, which is quite often the case. I guess if you have a combination of lots of experience along with a very amicable nature, you will surely be in demand. 

I would recommend Andrew to anyone needing IP Legal assistance as his also being an inventor himself, he can truly relate to his clients.” November 9, 2011

“Which is more valuable a trademark or copyright for your business today?” If you don’t feel smarter than a fifth grader, you need to invite Andrew Spriegel, Patent Attorney to speak to your team or organization.

Andrew is a nationally recognized expert on patents, copyrights, and trademarks from Northeast Ohio. It is amazing how he is able to take complex legal jargon and translate it into language spoken by any main street business owner or new entrepreneur. I did not know that value of having my company’s tagline or name NOT trademarked before meeting Andrew. Within minutes I comprehended the risk and cost of not being protected. The light went off in my head someone that understood the monetary value of trademarks could take me to the bank. To think of having to buy back my own company’s name or tagline was surreal. For these reasons I am recommending Andrew Spriegel Patent Attorney at Spriegel & Associates, LLC.

Today, I am smarter than a fifth grader about trademark and copyrights. October 26, 2011
