Thompson & Knight Ranked as Top Patent Litigation Firm

Texas (June 28, 2011) – The global law firm of Thompson & Knight LLP is proud to announce its inclusion by Intellectual Asset Management (“IAM”) magazine in the 2011 IAM Patent Litigation 250 (“IAM 250”), a guide to the world’s leading patent litigators. The Firm is included among the top 12 firms in Texas, one of the “busiest jurisdictions in the country” for patent litigation.

IAM 250 stated that Thompson & Knight is “highly respected” and “maintains a robust patent litigation practice in the Eastern District of Texas, but is also highly active in nationwide forums.” The directory further noted that the Firm “is adept at assembling trial teams that unite deep technical expertise with trial mastery, enabling it to compete strongly in many technological spheres.” Thompson & Knight Partner and Intellectual Property Practice Group Co-Chair Bruce S. Sostek was specifically acclaimed as “an assertive lawyer who doesn’t back down for his clients and is much respected among judges, jurors and peers.”

IAM magazine is a leading intellectual property publication. The IAM 250 rankings were determined following an extensive three-month research process, including interviews with numerous outside and in-house counsel to gather market intelligence on the leading players in the field. IAM magazine stated that firms qualified for a listing in the IAM 250 on the basis of their depth of expertise, market presence, and the level of work on which they are typically engaged, further noting that only those identified by market sources for their exceptional skill sets and profound insights into patent litigation were featured.
