JUVE Comment

Following a period of staffing growth, this respected, pure patent attorney firm has now made steady progress within its solid client relationships. The patent attorneys boast excellent ties to major chemicals, pharmaceuticals and biotech players like BASF, Roche Diagnostics and Sanofi. Isenbruck bolstered this advisory field with an in-house salary partner appointment. While prosecution work is very visible, the patent attorneys typically only litigate on rare occasions, mostly for pharmaceuticals companies in cross-border suits on the side of external lawyers.
