At the core of every commercial, scientific, or artistic endeavor is an innovator and an idea. Cozen O’Connor’s intellectual property attorneys are committed to protecting the rights of innovators, the power of ideas, and a fair marketplace for intellectual property assets.
Cozen O’Connor’s renowned Intellectual Property Department stands out from its competitors in part by providing comprehensive IP service coupled with the reach and resources of a full-service law firm. While many peer firms have quietly narrowed offerings, Cozen O’Connor’s 50-lawyer IP group advises on all aspects of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, and unfair competition, from clearance and procurement to litigation. The firm maintains a soup-to-nuts model because, quite simply, that’s what’s best for clients.
Members of the IP team have diverse backgrounds in industry and technology; graduate science degrees; and decades of relevant experience as firm counsel, in-house counsel, or government regulators. Equally important, our lawyers are business people. We don’t just find legal solutions; we find practical and sustainable business solutions.
