“In addition to being an outstanding, highly creative and winning patent counsel, Procopio attorney Bob Ramos, goes extra miles for his client by leveraging his long-term reputation and relationships for his clients – he is well connected in the Pharma world and freely makes important and key introductions to help his clients advance strategic partnering connections, and gain access to leading scientists and business leaders.” – Larry G Stambaugh, Chairman of the Board, Molecular Assemblies, Inc. and Life Director, BIOCOM Board of Directors
“I have worked with many firms and several attorneys for my multiple ventures. I’m yet to find any firm that even comes close to Procopio in terms of professionalism, broad scope and expertise as well as familiarity with the challenges of startups. In Procopio, I’m very fortunate to have been working with Robert Ramos for over 3 years, who is one of the best attorneys in the nation with a deep understanding of the life sciences. I’m always impressed with his ability to grasp concepts and ideas quickly and build strong patents around them while forming powerful strategies to build a versatile patent portfolio that leads to a productive licensing strategy. Moreover, through his great network with the industry, he generously provides productive connections and works like an actual partner of the company more than an advisor. These points have given me confidence to consolidate all my ventures under Procopio and I am looking forward to working with Bob Ramos and his team for years to come.“ – Inanc Ortac, Founder, CSO of DevaCell; Founder, CSO of Sarmal; Founder, CEO, CSO of Innovasion Labs PINC; and recipient of the 2020 Biocom California Life Science Catalyst Award
