Zvi Raskin

"I had an excellent experience working with Zvi on the trademark registration of our brand, NovaBeautix. From the very beginning, Zvi stood out for his strategic thinking and clarity. Rather than simply filing the application, he took the time to conduct a thorough clearance search and provide a well-reasoned risk assessment — which was extremely valuable given the competitive nature of the beauty and technology space. What I appreciated most was his ability to structure a coordinated multi-class filing strategy (covering devices, software, AI, and e-commerce) while carefully positioning the brand to minimize potential conflicts. His attention to detail in drafting the goods and services descriptions, and his ability to translate a complex product ecosystem into strong legal language, was truly impressive. Communication was always thoughtful and professional, and he was receptive to feedback, incorporating refinements while maintaining a clear strategic direction. As a founder, having a trademark attorney who thinks beyond the filing itself and considers long-term brand protection is incredibly valuable — and Zvi does exactly that. I highly recommend him to any startup or company looking for a knowledgeable, strategic, and reliable trademark partner."
