For almost 140 years, Pattishall has focused on litigation, prosecution, counseling and transactions for all aspects of trademark, unfair competition, advertising, copyright, rights of privacy and publicity and trade secret law.  In the last two decades, we have expanded our practice to include litigation, counseling and transactions relating to social media and domain names.  We do not work on utility patents, but handle design patent litigation, especially when it intersects with trade dress claims.

While we have experience in almost every industry sector, our firm has represented clients within the following industries:

• Automobiles & Parts
• Banking
• Consumer Product Manufacturing
• Financial Services
• Food, Beverage and Hospitality
• Health care
• Industrial Engineering
• Media
• Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
• Software & Computer Services
• Technology, Hardware & Electronics
• Travel & Leisure

All of our attorneys, paralegals and support staff focus on trademarks and the related areas of law noted above.  Our prosecution practice is very strong and has been global in scope for decades, ranging from all-inclusive and worldwide portfolio management to supporting global clients’ in-house teams.  We actively manage over 20,000 trademark applications and registrations in over 185 countries and territories.  We also actively manage many of our clients’ domain names, copyrights and customs recordations.
