"The class more than met my expectations. The workbook alone was a huge help and resource. As for the instructors, I appreciate the honesty, candor and "real ness". It was nice for someone who clearly knows so much about the topic be so open and willing to share that information"

"The course was great and came at the right time for me as I am adding more and more trademark work to my core patent practice. The material answered directly some simple practical questions I had – e.g., how to retrieve only registered live marks in a search and downloading multiple records for evidence – and also provided valuable depth to legal arguments for traversing refusals. Kudos to Sonia and Erik!"
