Our clients range from Fortune 1000 companies to mid-tier and smaller entrepreneurial businesses.

Our Attorneys

Led by founders Meredith Martin Addy and Robert P. Hart, our team of attorneys is deeply versed in intellectual property litigation. We have proven records of success in cases before the U.S district courts, at the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board, in the Court of Federal Claims, and in appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and other Circuits.

Our attorneys have a wealth of experience as both outside and in-house counsel in multi-million dollar patent disputes. Our lawyers include former AmLaw100 management and former senior in-house IP counsel. We have proven experience in IP and business law across a range of sectors, including in software, in avionics and electronics, in the automotive space, in pharmaceuticals and bioengineering, and in entertainment.
