Gold - Firms

“Andrus Intellectual Property Law is absolutely excellent. Incredibly responsive, mindful of business considerations, thorough, thoughtful and easy to get along with.” Dedicated to delivering top-quality IP services, the firm maintains a roster of highly skilled attorneys and an international network of counterparts, particularly in Europe, to support clients wherever they need it. Patent prosecution specialists Emily Chilson and Benjamin Imhoff are two such attorneys who utilise foreign counsel to manage major worldwide portfolios for their following, with many involving hundreds of patents. Testament to the quality of its work, the firm often serves companies for decades. Mining equipment company Metso Outotec, a client for more than 25 years, currently trusts Joseph Kuborn with an array of patent needs, including strategic advice, clearance and planning opinions. A patron for more than 50 years, farming equipment company BouMatic turns to Ryann Beck, Peter Holsen and Aaron Olejniczak for its patent prosecution needs, with 23 successful patents being issued in the past year. Beck provides skilled patent services across the whole spectrum of patrons’ needs, and Holsen receives praise from peers: “After having worked in intellectual property for 13 years and having been in charge of many of our client's international patent portfolios, Peter is still, and by far, the best practitioner I have met. He is professional and service minded throughout, and has a unique ability to understand, in detail, extremely complex inventions in a variety of different technical areas, in particular electronic and mechanical inventions.” A “very detail-oriented, organised and a tenacious litigator”, Olejniczak leads the contentious side of things. He is often supported by Christopher Liro, a seasoned trial attorney in multiple arenas as both primary and local counsel, and Edward Williams, whose talents lie in prosecution and counselling for clientele including manufacturing company Zumtobel Lighting GmbH, for whom he offers freedom-to-operate opinions and IP counselling.
