Get help for your intellectual property needs

When you come up with a new idea and put it into tangible form, you need legal protection to safeguard your work from being copied.  Intellectual property comes in several forms, the three most common of which include patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

For over 20 years, Geoff Dobbin has assisted independent inventors and other creators of intellectual property with protecting their “babies.” He understands just how invested you can feel after all the hard work that went into your creation.

Although he founded Dobbin IP Law, P.C. when he moved to Utah in 2001, Mr. Dobbin has been practicing intellectual property law and representing creators in need of patents, copyrights and trademarks since 1998. With a degree in physics that gives him a solid scientific background to understand many different technical fields, he is quick on the uptake and easily grasps new concepts and ideas, no matter how complex.

I’ve known Geoff Dobbin and have used him as my patent attorney for over 7 years. During that time Geoff has filed multiple patents for me. Before meeting Geoff I consulted other patent attorneys and always came away frustrated that I could not get definite answers to my questions. It was refreshing when on my very first meeting with Geoff he gave me straight answers, explaining even the most complicated Intellectual Property issues in easy to understand language. Geoff has demonstrated utmost integrity while working on my patents and has an extensive knowledge of all aspects of Intellectual Property law. His work is of the highest quality and is delivered in a timely manner. I’m pleased to give Geoff my highest recommendation for your Intellectual Property work.

I am Lee Von Gunten, CEO of Watchdog manufacturing, where we produce and sell Home Security products such as our Watchdog Timers and others. I am pleased and proud to offer this short but sweet testimonial regarding Geoff Dobbin and his team at Dobbin IP Law P.C. This is a voluntary testimonial for Geoff and his company. Geoff did not ask for it.

We’ve been working with Geoff and staff for over 12 years with total confidence in the professionality and completeness of their services at fair costs through all of our patent and trademark work. Geoff has been there for us to help and answer questions and to advise us in all matters of Intellectual Law through several patent applications and trademark listings.

Geoff and his staff are tops. I can’t recommend them too highly.

Thank you,

I have been working with Geoff Dobbin for approximately 8 years in relation to a range of patent, trademark and product licensing matters. I have found Geoff to be a knowledgeable and diligent intellectual property attorney who is also a pleasure to deal with. Geoff was able to provide practical and timely responses to questions I asked and was instrumental in finalizing patents and a trademark for my invention. I would not hesitate in recommending Geoff.
