Fish & Richardson Ranked Top Intellectual Property Law Firm for Fortune 100 Companies


BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - January 13, 2010) - Fish & Richardson has been named a top IP law firm in the prestigious "Who Protects Innovation in America" survey, which identifies law firms that Fortune 100 companies use to protect their intellectual property. Fish ranked #2 overall -- with one less mention than the top firm -- meaning that the firm is one of the most sought-after firms for both patent prosecution and patent litigation services among the Fortune 100. The survey was published in the January/February issue of IP Law & Business magazine.

"This survey reflects our reputation as the premier firm for high-profile, high-stakes patent prosecution and litigation," said Peter J. Devlin, President of Fish & Richardson. "Many large US companies entrust their patent portfolios to Fish because of our unmatched legal and technical experience. It is an honor to be recognized by the Fortune 100."

Fish & Richardson is a leading global law firm unlike any other law firm in the world. With 400 lawyers practicing intellectual property, litigation, and technology law, Fish has redefined IP law for a market that values IP as a fundamental business asset. The firm offers unique expertise to help clients maximize the value of their intangible assets. Fish handles more patent litigation than any other law firm (IP Law & Business, September 2009), is the number one IP firm for America's biggest companies (Corporate Counsel, September 2009), and was named the number one firm in the world for PCT filings (MIP, October 2009).
