Patent

Ranked as the #1 patent practice in the United States, Fish has established a strong reputation within the science and technology communities for strategic patent services that maximize the value of IP. Our practice is one of the largest in the US, and we recently expanded across the Atlantic to open our first international office in Munich, Germany.

Our patent group comprises more than 250 attorneys and technology specialists, nearly 80 of whom have PhDs in a broad variety of technologies.

Many of our attorneys held previous careers, some as in-house counsel, in the industry sectors that they now serve. It is this deep industry knowledge that enables us to understand our clients' business issues, and evaluate how intellectual property assets fit into their business strategies.

Intellectual property protection is a crucial part of each client's business strategy, and our clients have the benefit of our experience and lessons learned across multiple sectors. Our patent services include: 
        • Patent prosecution 
        • Portfolio management and strategic counseling 
        • Licensing 
        • Interferences 
        • Patent reexamination
