The law office celebrated its 6^th anniversary this summer. We continue to grow, strengthen and diversify. We opened a second, satellite, office in the celebrated Merchandise Mart, in downtown Chicago. Six patents issued. These represented inventions in the fields of personal grooming and organization, home decor, and sporting goods. Nine trademarks issued. Another two were allowed. One client won a nationally televised toy competition. Another one was featured in Real Simple magazine. We successfully deflected a trademark cease and desist letter sent to a family-owned, Chicago business. We stopped a fledgling law firm from infringing on a client’s trademark. We helped one of our photographer clients negotiate his second licensing agreement with Major League Baseball.

Thank you to all of our clients for the opportunity to represent you, and to make all this possible. We are grateful that our services bring you that much closer to achieving your dreams. Thank you to my colleagues, friends and family for the trust and confidence to refer business our way. Thank you to our business partners who have our back and enable us to offer the services we do: McVaney Patent Illustrations, Global Patent Solutions patent searching, and Bordo Web Design.

We look forward to an even more successful 2018!
