Work & experience
Provided by KPPB
KPPB's attorneys have been fortunate to work on extremely valuable IP portfolios. Patents the firm prosecuted have been the subject of litigation and challenged via post grant proceedings in the US, Brazil, China, Germany, and the EPO and UPC. The firm leverages this knowledge to develop winning strategies for licensing and enforcement. KPPB recently leveraged this expertise to help the University of Minnesota develop a licensing program that has generated millions in research funding.
