Brownstein IP Attorneys Named in Intellectual Asset Magazine’s 2020 Patent 1000 Rankings
19 Jun, 2020
June 15, 2020 - Shareholders Mike Rounds, Craig Hemenway and Benno Guggenheimer have been included in the 2020
Intellectual Asset Magazine (IAM) Patent 1000 rankings. In addition, Brownstein was recognized by
IAM for our work in patent prosecution and intellectual property transactions. Rounds, chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property Department, was recognized for the second consecutive year in the litigation category. He has 30 years of experience litigating high-profile patent and intellectual property cases in district courts in Nevada, California, Delaware, Texas and throughout the United States. Rounds’ success and experience at the district court and appellate level includes numerous reported decisions for clients in the internet, cell phone, gaming, pharmaceutical, computer hardware and software, disc drive, database management and heavy equipment industries. Hemenway, Brownstein’s lead patent attorney for high-tech matters, has been recognized by
IAM each year since 2013 for both prosecution and transactions. He works with both startups and major corporations, including some of the world’s largest technology companies, providing strategic counseling, managing complex portfolios of patent assets, advising on complex IP transactions, licensing IP assets and providing opinions of counsel. He is a former control systems engineer with deep experience in both patent law and engineering. Guggenheimer is new to the
IAM Patent 1000 this year and was ranked in the prosecution category. With over 10 years of experience in research and product development, he brings his technical background to bear on his patent work for Fortune 500 companies. His practice includes patent prosecution and patent analysis for electronic devices, software products, medical devices and automated systems. This year’s
IAM ranking commentary states, “Diversification has been a recent point of emphasis for Brownstein. Its well-rounded patent group has added variety to its roster of large institutional patrons and is increasingly engaged by Bay Area start-ups at different valuation levels, up to $1 billion. Demonstrating impressive agility, the set is comfortable maneuvering within the guardrails that big companies have in place, while offering flexibility to fledgling entities. All comers, however, enjoy the benefit of creative and commercial solutions.” Every year,
IAM compiles a list of the top 1,000 patent attorneys in the world and breaks it down by country and U.S. state, recommending those considered leaders in the field. The process involves extensive international research including interviews with more than 1,500 individuals to gather feedback from peers and clients with knowledge of the attorneys’ practices and markets.
