Our business model is to cultivate lawyers who know all there is to know about intellectual property, whether it be special requirements under the America Invents Act (AIA), patenting chemical compositions and pharmaceuticals, current developments in software patenting, or combating “bad patents” in federal court litigation.  Lawyers from our various practice groups enjoy sharing their views in our blogs. Please join our audience and help us enrich the discussion. We welcome your participation and insight.
