Harness IP’s team of patent and trademark attorneys serve clients in all areas of intellectual property law. We are one of the top IP law firms in the U.S. measured by both the number of attorneys and by objective rankings of results. Our attorneys and patent agents represent world leaders in business and technology, and our collective experience spans practically every practice area and niche specialty within intellectual property law. This includes patents, trademarks, IP litigation, PTAB Proceedings, trade secrets, due diligence investigations, and global IP management. If it’s IP, we do it. Harness IP was founded in 1921. More than 100 years of continuous practice has given us an unquantifiable level of intellectual property insight and experience. But that’s merely a starting point. What 100 years really means is simple: we partner with our clients for the long haul. We take our time to develop new relationships. We emphasize long-term, mutually beneficial strategies rather than short-term gains. And, after 100 years, we know that we cannot get to 200 unless our clients come first. Clients rely on Harness IP because our attorneys know how to turn the complexities of intellectual property law into straightforward solutions. Our patent attorneys obtain more than 3,700 U.S. patents each year, on average, while our trademark attorneys propel Harness IP to rank among the top IP law firms for registering U.S. trademarks year after year. As we move into our second century as an IP law firm, we remain united around a single cause: to be known as the IP Law Firm for Harnessing Innovation® by enabling our clients to achieve the most from their IP investment. Harness IP has offices in metro Dallas, TX; Detroit, MI; St. Louis, MO; and Washington, D.C.
