A team of Bay Area patent prosecutors, including three partners, has left Morrison & Foerster for Dentons.

The partners include Peter Yim and Brian Ho, who joined Dentons' San Francisco office, and Christopher Eide, who joined the firm's office in Palo Alto. Eleven associates and five patent agents and analysts followed them in the move.

At least two of the team members had held leadership roles at MoFo. Eide was managing partner of the firm's Palo Alto office from 2011 to 2013, and Yim led the firm's electronics, software and telecommunications patent prosecution group as recently as this January.
