As an intellectual property law boutique, we understand the value of high standards delivered through responsive and customized service. We applaud the unique creativity and curious nature that our clients bring to their industries. At Hoffman Warnick, we are outcome driven with the simple goal of obtaining the best possible result for our clients. We are proud of the core principles that each of us at Hoffman Warnick embraces. It starts with the palpable empowerment of our legal professionals and staff. We provide systems, procedures and administrative tools that are efficient, flexible and powerful. The result? Our team performs at their best on behalf of our clients to deliver high-quality legal services effectively, overcoming the status quo that may be found at many large law firms in major cities. We bring clients highly technically qualified lawyers and agents, many of whom hold higher degrees in their respective technical fields. Our team provides the expertise required to ensure commercially pertinent protection for our clients'​ innovations—not just in the US, but worldwide. Many of our attorneys have substantial experience working in-house as patent examiners at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). With this background, our team provides unsurpassed insight into patent and trademark prosecution, as well as higher level reexamination, reissue, post-grant reviews, interference, opposition and appeal procedures before the USPTO. Further, our team includes attorneys with substantial experience in connection with mid to high level IP executives at large international corporations, including two former corporate general counsels. This experience provides us with unmatched understanding of the issues facing in-house IP teams, CEO's, technology transfer officers and entrepreneurs.
