The National Law Journal has announced the names of the law firms admitted to its second annual Intellectual Property Hot List.
Such is the range of listings and rankings in this field, law firms in the intellectual property world are surveyed possibly more than those in any other practice.
But this is undoubtedly a list any firm would want to be on.
According to the National Law Journal:
“Among this year’s group you’ll find 20 law firms that have demonstrated creative, formidable talent in litigation, patent prosecution and deal-making. Some of the top teams operate within giant, full-service law firms with offices throughout the world; others practice at small shops that focus solely on intellectual property matters.
Whatever their size these firms’ cases often have billions at stake, and patents involving impressive advancements in science and technology including ground-breaking pharmaceuticals; the contents of the food we put on our tables; and the ways we communicate with each other.”
The 20 firms that received the distinction are:
- Cooley
- Fenwick & West
- Finnegan Henderson
- Fish & Richardson
- Gibson Dunn
- Irell & Manella
- K&L Gates
