Knobbe Martens Named Top Boutique Law Firm by the Daily Journal
Knobbe Martens has been recognized as one of the “2017 Top Boutique Law Firms” in California by editors of the Daily Journal. The firm, one of just 20 named in the leading legal publication’s annual report, was noted for providing outstanding legal services dedicated to intellectual property.
Editors highlighted Knobbe Martens’ recent success at trial culminating in a Boston federal jury awarding $70 million to client Edwards Lifesciences CardiAQ for trade secret misappropriation against its former service provider, Neovasc. In September 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the judgment, which had grown to $112 million after the District Court added $21 million in enhanced damages plus interest.
In the article about the firm published in the October 25 “Top Boutiques” supplement, Managing Partner Steven Nataupsky highlights that from day one Knobbe Martens has understood its clients’ technology and business goals. “The experience, strong backgrounds, and depth of knowledge of our attorneys – most of whom hold STEM degrees – result in the firm offering every client high quality intellectual property legal services. Over the past 55 years our clients have enjoyed remarkable success that has led to the firm’s growth".
Knobbe Martens recently opened an office in New York City to support the firm’s intellectual property venture capital clients investing in East Coast startups. Furthermore, its balance of litigation, patent prosecution and trademark prosecution work, continues to enable the firm to succeed.
