Practice Areas

Pam Kohli Jacobson is a partner, patent lawyer and practice group coordinator for the firm's Intellectual Property practice. She is recognized for offering a single intellectual property solution across IP disciplines–from high stakes IP litigation to global IP enforcement, IP licensing, procurement, and portfolio management. Clients appreciate the treatment of their IP as a consolidated corporate asset and the resulting benefits. The benefits include, for example: minimizing the risk of licensing technology already exclusively licensed to a third party or filing time-barred patent applications because the technology was disclosed during trademark prosecution. She has recovered attorneys' fees in patent, trademark, pre-Octane, post-Octane, and pro bono civil litigation matters. She was an early adopter of combining alternative fee arrangements with advanced technologies and now leverages the resulting decade of data to provide innovative, cost-effective IP solutions.

Pam has been recognized by industry publications as a leading practitioner in intellectual property law including: Chambers (intellectual property); IAM Patent 1000 (patents); The Legal 500 United States (trademarks); World Trademark Review (trademarks); The Best Lawyers in America (patent, trademark and copyright); Super Lawyers; Managing IP (Patent); Corporate Livewire Global Awards (trade secret).
