COJK and eleven attorneys at the firm are recognized in the annual publication of International Asset Management’s (IAM) legal guide, IAM Patent 1000 — The World’s Leading Patent Professionals. IAM names COJK to the list for Washington state in all three categories considered: patent prosecution, litigation, and transactions, and places COJK among the top four firms in the state for patent prosecution, noting that the “skilled practitioners” at COJK “prioritise listening to clients’ concerns, ensuring a seamless patent process by delivering tailored legal and technical expertise to each case.” COJK attorneys Margie Aoki, John Denkenberger, Taylor Fairchild, Andrew Laughlin, Rhys Lawson, Adrian Mihailovic, Jerry Nagae, Melissa Nowak, George Renzoni, David Sheldon, and Brandon Stallman are recognized for their skills in patent law.
IAM Patent 1000 identifies leading firms and individuals in patent prosecution, transactions, and litigation fields around the world. The guide was compiled following an extensive research process over a five-month period, which included hundreds of interviews with in-house professionals and private practice attorneys based in dozens of countries to gather market intelligence on the leading lawyers in the field. Firms and individuals qualify for a listing on the basis of their depth of expertise, market presence, and the level of work on which they are typically engaged.
