Intellectual Property Team
​

With nearly two dozen professionals, our Intellectual Property team is the firm’s largest practice group. Close to half of our patent attorneys and agents hold degrees in Electrical Engineering, with many others bringing backgrounds in Computer Science and Information Technology. This strong technical foundation has fostered a concentration of clients in these fields and a team deeply attuned to their technologies and innovations. Our expertise also spans Mechanical, Chemical, and Materials Science Engineering, as well as Physics, Biology, and Bio-Resource Engineering. We represent a broad range of IP clients — from individual inventors and start-ups to leading technology companies and world-class universities.
