Intellectual property, with an emphasis in patent law.

Our firm represents numerous Fortune 500 clients (as well as a number of medium and smaller sized entities and individuals) before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We also assist some of these clients in connection with trials and appeals before State and Federal Courts. The attorneys at the firm have extensive experience with procuring patent rights in domestic as well as foreign jurisdictions.

Behind that description is a firm organized around technical competence rather than around a practice-group chart. Its professionals are engineers, computer scientists and chemists who went to law school — which is why the person who drafts a claim set is usually the same person who defends it at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and explains it to a jury.

That structure produces a specific kind of work product. Prosecutors who have watched their own claims construed draft differently. Litigators who have prosecuted in the same art unit cross-examine differently. Neither advantage is available to a firm that separates the two.

It also produces a particular scale. Since the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office began indexing attorneys of record in late 2015, more than ten thousand US patents have issued with this firm named on them. In 2025 the firm prosecuted 889 US utility patents to grant, placing it 77th among all US patent firms in Harrity Patent Analytics’ annual ranking. Those are not claims about quality; they are counts, and both can be checked against their sources.

The practice is deliberately narrow. This is an intellectual property firm, not a general commercial firm with an IP group, and the work runs from a first application through prosecution, post-grant proceedings, licensing and litigation without handing the technology to someone who is meeting it for the first time. Clients range from Fortune 500 corporations with portfolios of hundreds of families to start-ups filing their first application.
