Kind Words about Bastian

Maximilian Schilling

ecomi.io AG

I had the pleasure of working with Bastian, our patent attorney for eva.OS, and it has been an incredibly joyful and rewarding experience. I highly recommend him without any reservations. Our collaboration was marked by a delightful ease and a relaxed atmosphere, making the complex process of patent application both enjoyable and efficient. Bastian's work is characterized by its speed and precision, and his approach to communication is refreshingly straightforward and direct. An outstanding professional indeed. And I don't say this lightly. I've worked with many lawyers and patent attorneys before, but we will always come back to Bastian.

I chose Bastian as Soul Machines' EU patent representative because I know the EU has a notoriously high bar for accepting software-related inventions and wanted an expert in this space. Bastian did not disappoint: he knows the field inside and out and keeps up-to-date with the latest developments in computer implemented inventions, artificial intelligence, and digital business models.

Anyone who applies for a patent puts their trust and their future in the hands of the IP professional they work with. From this perspective, the decision to go with Bastian was easy for us. In fact, he is the best IP professional I have ever worked with. Bastian is deeply knowledgeable, highly intelligent and always considerate. He knows patent law and the system on every level, and works tirelessly on behalf of his clients. Yet, it is his integrity that led us to work with him. I could not think of a better person to trust with the future of our company.

AMERIA AG

Working with Bastian Best and BESTPATENT was an excellent experience. His and his colleagues' council was extremely valuable to me in building a valuable IP portfolio at our company. I did and do value his strategic advice and insights very highly - in particular, because Basti was keen and able to dive into the details of our business in order to help us implement the IP strategy that really suited our needs. Our business and technology advanced very rapidly and Basti and his team were able to keep up with our fast pace, advising on and helping draft applications just as rapidly. Basti is honest and transparent in his work and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him as a patent lawyer to anyone searching for quick and effective assistance in that area.
