Once again, Pillsbury has gained recognition for its work in the trademark field. World Trademark Review 1000 (WTR 1000) acknowledged four members of Pillsbury’s trademark practice in its "World's Leading Trademark Professionals" list. Every year, the list recognizes leading law firms and individual practitioners who offer high-level advice on trademark-related issues. The members of Pillsbury’s trademark practice who have been recognized in the 2017 edition are special counsel Robert Burlingame (San Francisco) and partners Edward Cavazos (Austin), Patrick Jennings (Washington, DC) and Richard Kirkpatrick (New York).
In this year’s WTR 1000, Pillsbury’s trademark lawyers earned bronze band status for enforcement and litigation work, as well as prosecution and strategy. Pillsbury is acknowledged for its “abundant trademark talent strategically located across the country.”
According to the WTR 1000, Kirkpatrick is noted for his ability to juggle multifaceted IP-related corporate transactions, and Burlingame’s services come “unequivocally recommended” by clients.
With more than 120 years of successfully handling intellectual property matters, Pillsbury’s IP practice advises clients on preserving, maintaining, advancing, and leveraging their IP assets through the development of creative and comprehensive strategies that fit their needs. The team comprises more than 100 IP attorneys, plus technical consultants and patent agents, around the globe.
WTR 1000 highlights leaders in the trademark field based on research that includes hundreds of face-to-face and telephone interviews with trademark specialists and their clients, in more than 70 key jurisdictions globally. Qualification in the WTR 1000 can only be achieved after receiving sufficient positive feedback.
