Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP, one of the largest intellectual property law firms in the United States, has been ranked as the top firm in the country for the quality of patents in the industrial space. In addition, the firm was ranked in the top ten firms in the nation for securing the highest-quality domestic patents in all areas.
The rankings, issued by Intellectual Asset Management/Ocean Tomo Patent Ratings, focus on four areas – industrials, consumer electronics, healthcare and information technology. The rankings were determined by reviewing both the number of patents issued within the past 12 months as well as the quality and worth of those patents. Knobbe Martens was the only firm ranked in every area.
The Ocean Tomo Patent Ratings System uses highly-acclaimed methods to determine the relative value of all patents issued by the USPTO since 1976. These patent qualities are calculated using more than 50 independent and objective factors. The full rankings and methodology are published in the May/June issue of IAM and can be found at http://www.iam-magazine.com/.
