Testimonials
This is the best IP lawyer I have worked with. He understands IP as an investment and I have appreciated his willingness to share his perspective with my Emory MBA class. He operates in a different league than most IP lawyers I have worked with prior.
Mark Bell
Head of Private Capital and Family Office at BalentineI have had the wonderful pleasure of working with Artoush for the last 3+ years building out a substantial portfolio of IP for a shared client. I personally have worked with many IP attorneys over the last 30 years, from the biggest international shops, and to several solo practitioners and Artoush remains the absolute best IP attorney, and honestly the best attorney I have ever worked with.
First, his ability to virtually instantaneously grasp the business needs for the filing, regardless of how far reaching the IP might be (and our engagement has centered around the forefront of AI and NLP technology), is well, super-human. The next amazing skill is his ability to dive deeply into the tech, and extract the most amazing nuggets of what on the surface would seem sublime claims, but in reality represent the key pillars of a vision he creates for a holistic IP architecture. This distillation of core tech essential creates a ‘sum of the parts/greater than the whole’ filing.
But what makes all this deep work with Artoush so satisfying is that he is a genuinely wonderful person. He grinds hard, delivers exceptional work, and makes it all enjoyable and pleasure to work with.

Managing Advisor at Ampirix, LLCI started developing ideas into invention disclosures in 2002. I worked with two other colleagues who were… frankly brilliant… We were able to get a very good groove going in documenting our ideas. All of this would have come to nothing without Artoush who really showed us the potential in our ideas and how to maximize protecting them.
With his help we were able to submit to IBM 90+ disclosures of which today 40 have become patents… Artoush was easy to work with, shared his knowledge, guided us through issues and stayed in his lane… even when some of our group wanted to move out of our lane… Couldn’t ask for a better person to help bring your ideas to a patented state.

IBM Distinguished Engineer | CTO Accelerated Application Development at IBMAs an inventor, I’ve worked with several patent attorneys in my career. Artoush Ohanian is so far ahead of any other, it’s almost a disservice to simply label him a patent attorney.
My first meeting with Artoush was when he interviewed me to draft a patent. From my prior experiences, I was expecting to show him some drawings, answer a few questions, and be on my way in an hour or two. Instead, Artoush grilled me for a day, extracting every last ounce of information about the invention that my head held. It was exhausting. Ultimately, the application reflected more about the invention and its utility than I ever imagined.
For me, Artoush’s biggest asset is his business acumen. He is always considering the broader IP portfolio and how it serves the business. In discussing inventions, he focused on business value and why it is important to our customers and gives us a competitive advantage. He went so far as to come with me on a sales call just to learn and distill the maximum value of my technology for the market.
Artoush has been an absolute pleasure for me and my staff to work with. He will forever be one of my most trusted business advisors, as well as my favorite patent attorney.
