The IP Attorneys: the premier independent guide to recommended Intellectual Property lawyers, practice area news and legal insights:
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
We assist IP owners, in-house counsel and law firms by providing a concise, independent and up-to-date guide to leading intellectual property lawyers across the country. Our research covers all 50 states, with featured attorneys being selected based on the results of peer nominations, in-depth research, and client feedback. Inclusion to the guide is by invitation only and to avoid competition, limited to one leading lawyer per state.
