Who We Are
Your Partners in Innovation
We share our clients’ passions and speak their language. We feel a kinship with the scientists, artists, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are driven to change the world by expanding the boundaries of human understanding and ingenuity. We seek to do the same by vigorously defending and encouraging their ideas and inventions.
Our 95-year history of excellence in intellectual property law is the direct result of generations of highly motivated and responsive attorneys who have an intimate knowledge of the industries they serve. Our attorneys have graduate or undergraduate degrees in the sciences, engineering and the arts, covering a comprehensive spectrum of disciplines. Additionally, many also have extensive practical industry experience.
Our attorneys approach every challenge, large or small, with a high level of sophistication, innovation, passion, and creativity. We are committed to seeking and delivering strategic advantages for a wide range of clients across a diverse array of industry and technology areas.
COJK maintains a strong global network of IP law firms and patent and trademark offices to ensure the best legal protection for our clients, both domestically and internationally.
