Patent Prosecution
Patent prosecution was the impetus for our founding in 1920, and it remains one of the cornerstones of our firm. We believe that the best patent litigators are those who have skills in patent prosecution, and that the finest prosecution skills are honed by experience in dealing with litigation matters. That’s why our patent prosecution activities center on the specialized technologies that our attorneys are uniquely trained and experienced to handle, such as biotechnology and electronics, and why we’re one of the world’s leading law firms in patent prosecution.
