The firm emphasizes patent procurement and litigation, with practice areas divided along technology lines: Biotechnology, Chemical, Electronics/Computer and Mechanical, in addition to Trademark and Litigation groups. 

The IAM Patent 1000 rankings are based on around 1,500 interviews with both private practice and in-house professionals.
