Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP, one of the leading intellectual property law firms in the United States, is pleased to announce that partners Maria Anderson, William Bunker, Jon Gurka, Steve Jensen, Joseph Re, Robert Roby, Art Rose, and William Zimmerman have been recognized for their outstanding intellectual property legal work in the 2016 Managing Intellectual Property (Managing IP) “IP Stars” handbook.
Managing IP’s “IP Stars” is an international, real-time IP market information resource that provides a detailed look at the leading IP firms and attorneys in all 50 states and around the world. Leading individual IP attorneys are recommended and confirmed by their peers and clients, based on their specific areas of expertise and the industries and clients they serve.
The selection of these attorneys to “IP Stars” follows numerous other accolades Knobbe Martens has received from Managing IP this year. The firm earned top rankings in six national categories in Managing IP’s “IP Stars Survey,” including PTAB Litigation, Bio Life Sciences, Patent Contentious, Patent Prosecution, Trademark Contentious, and Trademark Prosecution; and was ranked in the top regional tiers in the Copyright, Patent, and Trademark categories. Knobbe Martens was also named the “Top Patent Prosecution Firm in the Nation” as well as the “Top Patent Prosecution Firm in the West” at the 2016 “North America Awards” held in March in Washington, D.C.
The “IP Stars” survey, the most comprehensive of its kind, covers 70 countries and ranks leading law firms by nation. The selection process is based on extensive research compiled by teams in London, New York and Hong Kong, honoring firms considered the most “capable, active firms in IP” in their respective jurisdictions. Rankings are based on the firm’s quality of service and depth of practice according to peer reviews by intellectual property practitioners worldwide and clients. Firms that are included have received a significant number of recommendations from peers and clients, and cannot vote or pay for their own inclusion, nor solicit votes from associates.
