Michael Bartholomew

"Michael Bartholomew handled the provisional patent filing for a GPS-triggered audio delivery system for endurance athletes — a mobile app involving CoreLocation background triggers, AVAudioSession audio ducking, Bluetooth device detection for multi-sport transitions, and a server-side audio pipeline. Complex, multi-layered software invention with 19 figures and 42 claims. What set Michael apart was how quickly he understood the technical architecture and translated it into comprehensive patent language. Every element I described — including a novel 6-step audio playback sequence with configurable timing parameters — was captured precisely, with alternative embodiments to protect future implementations. He flagged §101 considerations proactively and structured the claims to survive scrutiny as a technological process rather than an abstract idea. That kind of forward thinking isn't something you can ask for — it's something an experienced attorney brings on their own. He was also exceptionally responsive throughout the engagement. Multiple revision rounds, new figures added, additional claims written — all turned around quickly and accurately. For a non-technical founder navigating IP for the first time, his ability to explain every decision clearly made the process manageable. Worth every dollar and then some. Highly recommend for any founder with a software, mobile, or hardware-adjacent invention who needs someone who genuinely understands what they're building."

"Fantastic service really recommend."

"Michael took over a US utility application that had a missed USPTO deadline, a priority-restoration petition to file, and an incomplete IDS. He found the problem I had missed, gave me a clear deadline and a flat quote up front, and filed everything in a single clean submission ten days early. What stood out: he corrected me twice on points where I was wrong, and explained why rather than just doing what I asked. He read a 20-page document I sent and came back with a specific, honest assessment of which claims it helped and which it did not - including the parts I did not want to hear. No surprise charges, and he told me when something was not worth paying for. Direct, fast, and priced exactly as quoted. Recommended."

"I had an excellent experience working with Michael Bartholomew on my provisional patent application. Michael was an outstanding attorney - extremely responsive and thoughtful throughout the process. As I developed new ideas along the way, he took them seriously and helped me present them more clearly and effectively in the application. I especially appreciated his patience and the thought and care he brought to the process. It was a genuine pleasure working with him, and I would highly recommend him."

"Mr Bartholomew has met and exceed all expectations. Thanks."

"Precise."
