Mr. Hulsey has provided exceptional service as an Intellectual Property attorney. He walked me through my first patent not only as counsel, but as a teacher, helping me to understand the process and the philosophy of the patent process. He is insightful, strategic, innovative, and a deep thinker. Without Mr. Hulsey, I would have been lost in the patent system. Mr. Hulsey was especially helpful in our interviews with the patent office, bringing a difficult patent to a successful conclusion.

Bill has prosecuted a majority of my 10 issued patents over the last 13 years. He has provided excellent service and gotten me out of a variety of jams with USPTO patent examiners who are generally not very friendly with solo inventors. Bill's methodical technique just plain works. He is also a great coach and mentor to inventors and provides "invention community" services which is a reflection of his sincere and genuine concern for the inventor's community as a whole.

Bill is a responsive, very knowledgable, and professional attorney in which my company has total trust in his legal advice and service. His experience in the areas of intellectual property and licensing has helped our firm immensely over the past few years since forming the company. I would strongly recommend Bill and his legal team to anyone needing legal advice in patents, licensing, and protection of intellectual property and trademarks.

The most important attribute for a patent attorney, I believe, is the ability to solve complex problems and to bring success where there seems to be overwhelming difficulty. Bill was the right person to handle the problems in the prosecution of my patent and I highly recommend him to others that are looking to make their complex ideas understandable to others. R.C. Crawford, Austin, Texas
