Original Thinking. Unique Protection.?

Boutique law firms often become so specialized in their practice that they lose the ability to see the big picture. Patterson is different.

Our unique mix of patent attorneys, technical experts, trial attorneys, and IP strategists allows us to provide unparalleled IP services for all business sectors, including R&D, marketing, logistics, communications, and more.
