AVEK, IP

Avek IP is the result of outstanding attorneys practicing together on a platform built to meet clients' intellectual property needs. We are a sizable yet nimble intellectual property law firm with the ability to handle any patent, trademark, copyright, domain name, and trade secret matter, and we have a strong track record of success. The firm launched in 2022 following a merger between Kansas City-based firms Avant Law Group and Erickson Kernell.

Founded in 2003, Erickson Kernell IP is a fixture of the regional intellectual property market, ranked among Best Lawyers in America and U.S. News & World Report's "Best Law Firms" for intellectual property services in Kansas City and with firm lawyers repeatedly recognized by Super Lawyers and IP Stars.

Avant Law Group was formed in 2020 by prominent Big Law expatriates who wanted to serve clients without large-firm bureaucracy. Avant's attorneys have been repeatedly recognized by Super Lawyers, IP Stars, Nation's Best Lawyers of Color, National Law Journal, and Missouri Lawyers Weekly.

In addition to sharing deep intellectual property expertise, our attorneys share a culture and philosophy: we take pride in understanding each client's business and providing advice and solutions tailored to their context. Our attorneys also share a commitment to success and efficiency.

We are here to assist you with acquiring and enforcing intellectual property rights, as well as to help you avoid and defend against infringement actions.
