This is the second year that we’ve made the match between BusinessWeek’s 50 most innovative companies and the law firms that do their IP work. The data is even more intriguing this year, because for the first time we have broken the IP litigation category into three component parts: copyright, trademark, and patent. This lets firms with strengths in each specialty stand out. Patent prosecution, meanwhile, continues with its own separate ranking of firms.
Despite consolidation in the legal industry, not all the work goes to big international powerhouses. Smaller IP boutiques shine in patent prosecution, and medium-sized general practice firms still do work for big companies. But sometimes the connection is forged indirectly, through webs of formal and informal indemnification agreements between big companies and little companies.
