As one of the top-ranked intellectual property law firms, the firm has continued to grow in response to an increasing demand domestically and internationally for intellectual property expertise across a number of industry sectors, including healthcare, high-tech, and retail. With the addition of 46 associates this fall, the firm reached 249 attorneys nationwide located in seven offices.

"In the current economic climate, the firm is pleased to be having a successful year."

The firm opened the Washington, D.C. office in November of 2007 and the Seattle, Washington office in February of this year.
