I worked for this practice when they were in San Francisco before moving out of state so it was great having them as my employer while living here! There weren't any issues but everyone who works there seems really nice - which isn’t always true at big firms (I've been told). They are very thorough about IP protection/enforcement though if you have questions or need help getting started contact one person specifically named "Karen". She has helped me understand what needs doing during an assignment change from USPTO registration process through enforcement actions against counterfeiters both locally AND internationally!!
