Managing Intellectual Property Honors Fenwick with Top IP Rankings

IP Stars ranks Fenwick in its top tiers nationally for copyright, patent contentious, patent prosecution, trademark contentious and trademark prosecution work, and for IP-related life sciences work. The firm’s IP practice received recognition in every category in California and was recognized for patent contentious work in New York.

In addition, several Fenwick partners received recognition from IP Stars as leading IP lawyers. Sally Abel, Andrew Bridges, David Hayes, Jedediah Wakefield and Karen Webb were honored as Trademark Stars. Hayes was also highlighted as a Patent Star, along with Robert Hulse, John McNelis, Jeffrey Oelke, Rajiv Patel and David Tellekson.
