YOUR INNOVATION DESERVES TO BE UNDERSTOOD.
Choosing intellectual property counsel is not simply a matter of finding someone who can complete a filing. It means choosing someone who can understand what you have created, explain your options, and help you decide how legal protection can support your next step.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COUNSEL THAT UNDERSTANDS THE TECHNOLOGY
Babino Law Group, LLC is a Chicago-based intellectual property law firm serving inventors, engineers, founders, startups, and emerging technology teams nationwide.
Led by patent attorney Donell Babino, the firm brings deep technical experience in software, cybersecurity, virtualized computing, cloud systems, and advanced software architectures. This technical fluency allows the firm to understand complex inventions and translate them into clear, strategic intellectual property protection.
Babino Law Group was founded to ensure that independent innovators and smaller companies receive the same level of thoughtful, technically rigorous counsel expected by major corporations—delivered with direct attorney access, practical guidance, and respect for each client’s goals and resources.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CLIENT EXPERIENCE
✔ Direct Access to your Attorney: Clients communicate directly with the attorney responsible for understanding the technology, developing the strategy, and handling the legal work.
✔ Technical Conversations without Unnecessary Translation: Engineers and inventors can discuss how their systems actually work. The firm is comfortable engaging with architecture, implementation details, workflows, and technical distinctions.
✔ Strategies Suited to the Client’s Stage: A first-time inventor, a pre-revenue startup, and a growing engineering company may face very different priorities. Recommendations are tailored to the client’s goals, timing, resources, and commercial circumstances.
