Determined advocates.
Townsend's litigators don't give up easily...if ever. In one difficult case, we battled a technology industry giant for more than a decade, through two seven-month trials and ultimately to a $96 million award of damages to our client. In another case, we defeated a dominant semiconductor manufacturer's patent on appeal and preserved our client's freedom to continue operations. From decisive jury verdicts to quick and efficient settlements, every litigation strategy is tailored to one objective--building and protecting your business.

Patent Prosecution & Counseling

Townsend’s patent lawyers work with each client to integrate science, technology and legal principles with a pioneering spirit and insightful business acumen – all with the goal of achieving maximum protection and maximum value for every patent. While our patent practitioners have an unrivaled depth and variety of technical expertise and years of experience as engineers and scientists in a wide range of industries, we strive first to be excellent lawyers with the ability to successfully guide our clients through the patent process.
 
Our patent practice is characterized by three intrinsic qualities: 

  • A unique understanding of the history and evolution of intellectual property law and technology – and the ability to apply the lessons of yesterday to the challenges of today;
  • The bandwidth and depth of expertise to manage large portfolios with multiple technical complexities; and
  • A commitment to responsiveness, client service and follow through that is unsurpassed among intellectual property law firms.
