Oblon Receives Prestigious Band I ranking from Chambers & Partners USA

  • June 19, 2015
  • Firm News
  • Chambers & Partners USA

Oblon’s Intellectual Property practice has received a prestigious Band 1 ranking from Chambers & Partners USA. The publication identified the firm as one of Northern Virginia’s leading firms in the area of intellectual property law, while also ranking four Oblon partners whose specialties range from full IP litigation to prosecution and handling proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Chambers highlights Oblon as a “clear leader in the patent prosecution arena offering demonstrable strength in matters involving mobile communications and medical devices.” Chambers also describes the firm as “an impressive presence in inter partes review proceedings for a wide range of clients.”

In addition to the firm’s ranking, Arthur Neustadt and Charles Gholz are recognized for their significant accomplishments in the intellectual property field. Firm clients recognized Oblon attorneys as "very conscientious, bright and knowledgeable” and are quick to point out the firm’s “deep knowledge of post-grant petitions.”
