We now have responses from more than two dozen law firms which between them have obtained about one-seventh of all of the US design patents that were granted in 2014. Conspicuous by their absence, however, are a few well-known firms that did quite a lot of US design patent work in 2014, including the following:
- Cantor Colburn
- Foley & Lardner
- Morgan Lewis
- Birch Stewart
- Sterne Kessler
- Kilpatrick
- Nixon Vanderhye
- Finnegan Henderson
- Christensen O’Connor
- Ladas & Parry
- Wolf Greenfield
- Oblon Spivak
- Sheridan Ross
If you know someone at one of these firms, you might drop them a note and let them know they have six days left to respond with their information. The toteboard will close on January 31 and the rankings will be posted in early February.
