Kolisch Hartwell

International Agency Practice

Kolisch Hartwell maintains an active international practice through strong reciprocal relationships with many law firms around the world, including firms in Canada, the U.K., Germany, Austria, Norway, Australia, China, Japan, and other countries. Through these partnerships, we are able to satisfy the needs of our domestic clients who desire foreign protection. We in turn handle a substantial volume of U.S. intellectual property (IP) matters entrusted to us by our international colleagues.

As your agent in the United States, we respect and protect your firm’s reputation and your clients’ interests, as we do our own. In such matters, we provide:

  • Expertise. Our familiarity with a broad range of patent, trademark, copyright, and other intellectual property legal services allows us to keep you well-advised on U.S. prosecution practice, identify relevant requirements of U.S. intellectual property law, and suggest focused strategies and prosecution options aimed at obtaining the best protection of your clients’ interests in the U.S.
  • Knowledge. Our team of attorneys, agents, and technical consultants offers a wide spectrum of education and experience covering many engineering, scientific, and other creative disciplines. This depth and breadth of knowledge enables us to assist all of our clients, both foreign and domestic, in a wide range of technology areas. In addition, several of our practitioners are proficient in other languages, including French, Spanish, and German.
  • Timeliness. We can be trusted to promptly act on new and pending matters and to provide timely reports on official correspondence so you have adequate time either to consult with us or to prepare instructions in advance of deadlines.
  • Clarity. We keep you well-informed about the substantive and procedural status of your clients’ cases, and take care to keep you apprised of developments in applicable U.S. law.  We provide clear estimates for new and ongoing projects.

If your clients are considering pursuing their patent, trademark, copyright, or other IP interests in the U.S., or if your firm is seeking IP legal services in the U.S., we invite you to contact us with any questions.
