Fish & Richardson, a premier global intellectual property law firm, is sought-after and trusted by the world’s most innovative brands and influential technology leaders. Fish offers litigation, prosecution and counseling services for patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as trade secret counseling and litigation services. Our deep bench of attorneys with first-chair trial experience in every technology makes us the go-to firm for the most technically complex cases. We have an established reputation as a top-tier firm for patent portfolio planning, strategy and prosecution, as well as post-grant proceedings at the PTAB. Established in 1878, and now with more than 400 attorneys and technology specialists in the U.S. and Europe, our success is rooted in our creative and inclusive culture, which values the diversity of people, experiences and perspectives.
Fish’s IP litigation practice dominates in every venue:
Fish & Richardson scores more high-profile wins across the board in U.S. District Court, the International Trade Commission, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board than any other IP firm. Our success is rooted in our deep fluency in every technology area imaginable, our robust industry knowledge, and our strategic and tenacious problem-solving abilities.
Because IP is our primary focus, we can dig deeply into patent law in ways other firms simply can’t:
A strong patent strategy requires more than just patent prosecution. Our Patent Group handles every step of the product life cycle, from research and development through building a portfolio to taking a product to market. We offer:
-Strategic intellectual property counseling
-Validity, infringement, and freedom-to-operate opinions
-Patent portfolio planning, analysis, and development
-Licensing, transactions, and agreements
-Patent due diligence
-Post-grant proceedings
We use post-grant tools strategically to both challenge and defend patents on behalf of our clients:
Attorneys who practice at the PTAB must be skilled in both patent prosecution and patent litigation, as inter partes review and post-grant review combine elements of both practices. Fish’s post-grant practice group – which sits at the intersection of our top-ranked patent prosecution and patent litigation practices – excels in this forum. Fish has handled more proceedings at the PTAB than any other firm, making us well-positioned to win for our clients across all technologies.
