Intellectual Property

Protecting advances that advance key industries.

With over 70 professionals, our full-service intellectual property team helps clients develop pointed and practical strategies for protecting and profiting from their IP assets. We have practioners in each facet of IP, from patents and trade secrets to trademarks, copyrights, and advertising. Our team also has registered patent attorneys with a wide range of technical backgrounds, several with advanced degrees.

We offer the full complement of licensing, prosecution, litigation, and portfolio management services — with the ability to defend or pursue infringement claims virtually anywhere our clients’ products are made and sold. Our team has notable depth in the manufacturing and life sciences industry, as well as the fast-developing arena of data security, privacy, and artificial intelligence.

Strategic Business Perspective

It is also of special significance that several of us have previous in-house legal experience. We share a common understanding of the legal, business, budgetary and process efficiency issues that clients face every day. And we pride ourselves on leveraging that corporate experience to help clients undertake new ventures and achieve their IP objectives.

Recognition

We have been recognized as one of the top patent practices in the region (Chambers USA Business Lawyers Guide, 2004-2018). Several of our lawyers have been recognized in such publications as Chambers USABest Lawyers in America, and Ohio and Kentucky Super Lawyers as top practitioners in their field. Our practice is well integrated into the firm’s related practice areas, including the corporate and international practices, giving our clients the benefit of a broad perspective in the protection of their intellectual property assets.
