About Van Pelt, Yi & James LLP
Van Pelt, Yi & James LLP has been dedicated to serving the unique needs of emerging growth companies in Silicon Valley since 1999. Recognizing that the most precious resource for a startup is the time and energy of its founders and engineers, we have made this guiding principle the cornerstone of our practice. This focus has been a key factor in our success over the past 25 years.
Today, we represent companies of all sizes, not only in Silicon Valley, but also across the United States and abroad. We offer a turnkey solution, handling every aspect of the patent process. Our clients provide us with the necessary information, and we take care of the rest. This approach ensures that our clients can focus on innovation and operating their business, confident that their patent needs are expertly managed.
Community Engagement
VPYJ LLP believes in giving back to the community and through our partnership with the Family Giving Tree — an organization committed to being of service to those most in need — we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of children and families facing hardships.
We participate in the Family Giving Tree’s annual backpack drive, gathering new backpacks and school supplies to ensure that every child has the tools they need to succeed in school. We believe that education is a fundamental right, and we are dedicated to helping children reach their full potential.
We also collect new toys for the Family Giving Tree’s annual toy drive, where we bring joy to children during the holidays and help make their wishes come true.
