Fish & Richardson Named Top Trademark Law Firm by World Trademark Review

Fish & Richardson has been named a top trademark law firm for the seventh consecutive year by World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000, a guide to the world’s leading trademark legal services providers. According to WTR, Fish’s “IP group boasts a deep pool of legal talent and commercial knowledge, which has attracted the longstanding patronage of numerous top-brass trademark owners.” “Marquee brands continue to rely on the vigorous protection for which Fish & Richardson’s heavyweight trademark team is famous.”

Fish’s California offices, based in Redwood City and San Diego, received the “bronze band” designations for both enforcement/litigation and prosecution/strategy, with WTR noting “the nationally renowned firm boasts an extensive network of offices across the country, with seamless cooperation among its many IP practitioners a hallmark.”

According to WTR, “watching over the top-notch Redwood City contingent is the extremely knowledgeable and conscientious Lisa Greenwald-Swire, who always produces outstanding results. Her metier is global counseling and prosecution, but she also has abundant experience handling an array of enforcement programs.” WTR added that Greenwald-Swire is “very aggressive in spotting and enforcing against infringers where appropriate” and can also “resolve oppositions quickly, without letting them drag on.” “She is the must-call attorney when Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) matters arise.”
