Firm Profile
We are a boutique IP firm focusing only on IP work. Our intellectual property work consists of approximately 90% patents and 10% trademarks. Approximately 1/3 of work is from local clients, 1/3 is from national clients, and 1/3 is from European clients.
Patent work can generally be divided into the technical side of the business (opinions, applications and prosecution) and the non-technical side of the business (litigation). We focus on the technical side of the business and our attorneys have strong technical backgrounds, most with industry experience.
Unlike some law firms that provide IP legal services on a “take-it-or-leave-it-basis”, we tailor our services to meet the needs of our individual clients. Hence our motto – Your IP. Your Way!
