Client, Legal 500 US 2024

We focus on strategic prosecution – the art of obtaining truly significant and enforceable claims issued at the least expense. And we help with post-issuance proceedings such as inter partes reviews and post-grant reviews.

We collaborate closely with our Patent Litigation group in developing and implementing offensive and defensive strategies, including for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), district courts and International Trade Commission (ITC). Our lawyers have in-depth technical knowledge, with advanced scientific degrees or significant industry experience. And over 50 of them are registered with the USPTO.

We’ve helped many clients – from startups to Fortune 100 companies – to identify significant untapped value, new revenue streams, or IP assets as growth drivers and cornerstones to mergers and acquisitions.
