Large Companies & Enterprises

THE WADDEY & PATTERSON DIFFERENCE

We are committed to developing a deep understanding of your business and technology, because that knowledge is fundamental to providing effective I.P. legal services.

We are a mid-sized firm able to handle large matters, yet not too large to give attention to your needs and the uniqueness of each IP matter. In short, we have the "intellectual critical mass" your I.P. protection requires. While large firms have checklists that are used in every matter, because they cannot otherwise effectively manage their attorneys, we understand that each I.P. matter is unique. This allows us to address each I.P. matter individually which leads to a better result and lower cost.

Virtually all of our attorneys earned technical degrees and have work experience that preceded their legal education. We have remarkably low turnover, fostering an environment where the best legal minds can stay for an entire career. Chances are that the attorney at the beginning of a project will see it through to the end. We do not rely upon the economic model of leveraging associates. We also do not have the overhead inherent with firms in larger markets; therefore, we can provide you with the services of our senior attorneys at rates charged by junior associates in larger firms. We do not need to resort to over-staffing your case in order to bolster our fees.

All attorneys complete our unique and intensive Patent Prosecution Training Program -- at our expense -- to assure you'll never be billed for the learning curve of a new associate. Having successfully prosecuted thousands of patent and trademark applications and represented clients in hundreds of court cases, our legal team has the unique combination of practical experience and value-driven legal performance it takes to move your ideas forward.
