Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property practice includes more than 185 lawyers and patent agents working in all of our offices throughout the world.  We are renowned for our trial and appellate experience, and are ranked as one of the strongest IP litigation firms for both plaintiffs and defendants. Our practice in procurement and licensing in the patent, trademark and copyright areas is recognized for its depth and breadth.  Rounding out our intellectual property, media and technology services, the team provides client counseling and advice regarding trade secret, unfair competition, advertising, entertainment and computer law.  Additionally, we work closely with our transactional and tax lawyers on the intersection of IP and corporate issues.

Our approach to client counseling combines our technical backgrounds and practical experience with our legal knowledge and business acumen.  More than 125 members of our team hold technical and/or scientific degrees and more than 90 are patent bar members.  We represent the interests of a broad range of clients, including companies in high technology such as semiconductors, biotechnology, software, electronics, energy and alternative energy, medical devices, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, as well as businesses in more traditional services, consumer products and manufacturing-related industries.

McDermott is consistently ranked as one of the most active firms for patent litigation (both trial and appellate), ITC litigation, patent prosecution and trademarks.  View a list of recent accolades and rankings.
