About
Provided by Michael Best & Friedrich LLP
Our highly recognized intellectual property team offers key advantages: we know our client’s business; we understand their technology; and we have the skills to help them strategically develop, manage, and protect intellectual assets.
Our Wisconsin team, consisting of nearly 80 lawyers and IP professionals—including patent engineers and registered agents—provides the full range of legal services related to all aspects of IP. Our Wisconsin practitioners practice on the national and global stages in trademark, patent, and copyright law, including prosecution, portfolio management, enforcement, clearance, defense, and litigation.
Many of our lawyers hold advanced degrees and possess business experience in fields such as computer science, engineering, physics, chemistry, and biotechnology. Many have served as examiners in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), giving us a valuable perspective on patent and trademark issues.
When approaching a new matter, we start by familiarizing ourselves with your short- and long-term business goals. Armed with this knowledge, we create and implement programs designed to increase the value of your IP assets while minimizing downside risk. Our approach is balanced but aggressive, and it has produced an exceptional record of success.
