About

And we help clients form, negotiate, and conduct strategic collaborations, partnering transactions, and other licensing arrangements.

Our team has significant expertise, including lawyers with advanced technical degrees and litigators with extensive experience in state and federal courts such as the Federal Circuit, US Supreme Court, International Trade Commission, and Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

We are renowned for our success in “bet the company” IP litigation — as well as for pragmatic, cost-effective advice on day-to-day IP issues
