Baker Hostetler was listed in a recent survey by Intellectual Property Today magazine as one of the top trademark firms in the country, based on the number of USPTO trademark registrations issued. With a 30 percent increase in registrations in 2008 compared to the previous year, the firm ranked in the top 10 percent of hundreds of law firms included in the poll.
Baker Hostetler's IP team provides guidance in all phases of IP planning—from the formulation of initial strategies and "best practices" to securing IP rights, creating strategies for exploitation (licensing, joint development, etc.), litigation and other forms of dispute resolution. The team includes more than 50 dedicated IP lawyers, patent agents and scientific experts, many with advanced technical degrees in fields such as nuclear engineering, electronics, biotechnology, aerospace controls, chemicals and software and circuit design.
