I am pleased to share my excellent impression of the Paulina Ben Ami Patent Attorneys firm. Their team has accompanied us professionally and devotedly from the very beginning, and has helped us successfully file several patents, including our first patent which was granted in the United States and Europe. I would like to especially mention Adv. Zeev Shmeltzer, who demonstrated exceptional intelligence, professionalism, and knowledge in the field of intellectual property strategy and science. I highly recommend the Ben Ami firm to anyone seeking top-level support and expertise in the field of patents.

Intellectual property in a startup is as important as owning land before and during construction. It requires planning and long-term thinking, and on the other hand, handling many administrative tasks with short response times.
We have been working with Paulina Ben Ami Patent Attorneys for about 7 years, since the company was founded. Throughout this entire period, we received professional responses that helped our company complete the patent registration and obtain them, along with excellent service and availability.
We found a partner for the long haul, professional, dedicated, and courteous.
I highly recommend them to startup founders.
Yaniv Maor, CEO & Founder
We filed a patent in the field of medical devices with the Paulina Ben Ami Patent Attorneys firm. First and foremost, we had the privilege of working with highly professional individuals in a friendly atmosphere with full cooperation. The combination of deep technological understanding, creative thinking, and mastery of the patent field by the team, and especially Zeev, enabled us to file a unique patent. The advice and support in the strategic management of the patent, its registration, and maintenance also allowed us to save a significant amount of money, which is especially critical for a small startup company in its early stages. We are confident that the firm played a very significant role in the success of our patent policy.
