Managing Intellectual Property

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 7, 2019

WASHINGTON, DC—Managing Intellectual Property (MIP) celebrated its annual IP Americas Awards on April 4, 2019, naming Finnegan as the U.S. PTAB Firm of the Year. Partner Charles E. Lipsey was also named the Outstanding Litigator—Virginia. These recognitions follow MIP’s recent IP Stars rankings, where Finnegan was recognized as a top U.S. firm in all categories and as a top foreign firm in Japan.

“Our clients have turned to us for PTAB matters because they understand how our attorneys have practices that blend litigation and prosecution, which lends itself to post-grant proceedings, interferences, derivations, and appeals to the Board. We’ve consistently been a top firm representing both patent owners and petitioners at the PTAB and are pleased to be recognized by MIP. We are also very fortunate that Charlie’s continued excellence in litigation was recognized for the third time,” noted Finnegan’s managing partner Mark Sweet.
