The firm manages high-volume prosecution programs for two Fortune 5 clients served for over a decade, both of which consistently rank the firm among their top outside counsel. Andrew Basile is recognized as one of the Top 25 patent attorneys in the United States.

Specialized teams serve clients in quantum computing - where the firm fields the industry's only legal team of three PhD-credentialed attorneys - as well as life sciences, artificial intelligence, and sports technology. The department also counsels clients on standards-essential patent licensing and FRAND compliance across major technology standards including HEVC/H.265.

The Trademark and Copyright group handles global brand protection and enforcement, with portfolios established across more than 70 countries and active management of oppositions, cancellations, and international litigation.
