Oblon Spivak Named to IAM Patent 1000 for National Patent Prosecution, ITC Litigation and Post-Grant Practices

  • August 5, 2013
  • Firm News

Oblon Spivak is pleased to announce that its Patent Prosecution practice and individuals from the firm’s ITC and Post-Grant practices have received top national rankings in the 2013 edition of IAM Patent 1000: The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners.

In total, three attorneys were selected for inclusion as “top patent practitioners.” The attorneys selected include: Charles L. Gholz, and Vincent K. Shier.

The IAM Patent 1000 is a guide to the top patent practitioners in key jurisdictions around the globe. Based on interviews with almost 1,500 attorneys and in-house counsel, individuals quality for a listing when they receive sufficient positive feedback from peers and clients with knowledge of their practice and the market within which they operate. According to IAM, “only those individuals identified by market sources for their exceptional skill sets and profound insights into patent matters feature in the IAM Patent 1000.”
