Our clients say

It is a known fact that most entrepreneurs cannot differentiate a mediocre patent attorney from an excellent one. However, having worked with almost all of the large firms in Israel I can unequivocally say that Ariel is simply the best, hands down. Ariel is an exceptionally unique professional and my personal go-to guy in all matters relating to IP for over a decade now, his firm’s services are also top-notch and on top of it all - he’s very fun to work with.

I’ve been working with Ariel for more than 6 years on various projects and he is such a pro in his field, with extensive knowledge and creativity. Despite being one of the elite in the IP world, Ariel is one of the nicest, down to earth people in the industry.

We at Maolac Ltd. have been delighted to work with Ariel from day one of foundation. Ariel is a real professional, constantly providing a strategic broad vision with regard to the company’s IP. A true partner to our journey, Ariel has been there for us in various situations along the way.

I highly appreciate Ariel and the amazing and professional service he provides with regard to handling the IP in all the companies I’m involved with - Ivory Graft, CTDent and Kometa Bio.

Ariel has been working with the various companies I manage for over 10 years, with exceptional professionalism. Ariel’s professionalism comes into play in the form of broad patents being granted quite quickly, and in the successful outcome of litigation cases against huge European companies hiring the best law firms in Europe in an attempt to invalidate our strong patents.
