OUR FIRM For nearly 100 years, Harness Dickey has focused exclusively on intellectual property law.

As one of the largest and fastest-growing IP firms in the country, we employ attorneys who

are dedicated to providing exceptional legal services in all areas relevant to your business.

We are privileged to represent some of the most recognized companies in the world,

including many Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies.

Harness Dickey’s expertise has become a critical asset in today’s volatile legal environment.

All fields of intellectual property are experiencing dramatic changes, making it increasingly

challenging to protect technology and brands globally. Our large-scale operations meet

these challenges by employing lawyers who specialize in each area of intellectual property.

Such specialization allows us to deliver state-of-the-art legal strategies and effectively

handle every IP issue confronting your business.

Our domestic and international patent practice is second to none, with over 100 patent

attorneys who have scientific and engineering degrees. We also have lawyers focusing

exclusively on worldwide trademark and Internet issues, and our partners spend significant

time providing opinions relevant to all aspects of intellectual property, including due

diligence. Our litigation practice focuses exclusively on resolving IP disputes quickly and

effectively.

We understand that quality work is our clients’ most important objective because their

competitive advantage hinges upon it. We deliver strategies without having to “reinvent the

wheel” each time, because our lawyers specialize and do not merely dabble in their areas of

focus. Further, we dedicate all the necessary resources to your account, avoiding the

inefficiencies caused by turnover that often occur within smaller firms. In addition to

providing world-class services, we manage to do so at consistently below average industry-

reported costs. Critical factors, including our large size and all-inclusive capabilities, as well

as being headquartered in the Midwest, allow for low overhead costs and hourly rates not

inflated by superficial factors. Whatever your IP needs, Harness Dickey is the choice.

PATENTS

Over 15,300 issued U.S. Patents and counting. Every Tuesday the United States Patent Office issues patents. Tuesday is a special day at

Harness Dickey. It is the day we get to share good news with our clients.

If you are choosing a firm to build your patent portfolio, there is one thing you should know

about Harness Dickey. We have over 100 patent attorneys representing every

technical discipline, and our attorneys actually write an average of 1,500 original patent

applications per year. While other firms simply file what they are given, Harness Dickey

attorneys know how to take your invention disclosure, from the back of a napkin if

necessary, and turn it into an issued patent.

Of course, Harness Dickey also knows how to prosecute patent applications based on

previously filed foreign applications. Our international clients, for whom we file and

prosecute an additional 2,500 applications per year, appreciate our unique expertise. We

understand technology, and use it to help our international clients build the same kind of

top-quality patent portfolios that our U.S. clients enjoy.

Quite simply, Harness Dickey has the technical and legal experience you need to build a

world class patent portfolio for your company. Let us show you how.

LITIGATION

Harness Dickey’s primary objective is to secure, monitor and protect our clients’

intellectual property. We aggressively monitor potential exposures to prevent

litigation. However, there are times that the only resolution to a dispute is in the

courtroom and litigation is unavoidable. In those cases, we provide zealous,

articulate and aggressive advocacy on behalf of our clients.

Our experience covers the entire spectrum of intellectual property issues from

patent, trademark, trade dress and copyright infringement, to cyber-squatting,

complex technology and licensing agreements. Our technical knowledge is what sets

our counsel apart from others. Not only do our litigators have prosecution

experience, but they also draw upon Harness Dickey’s industry experience in

complex areas such as the life sciences and biotechnology, electrical engineering,

CLIENT EXTRANET

Keeping track of your intellectual property assets can be an ongoing challenge. Our attorney-client interfaces make life much easier, allowing you to proactively manage your IP portfolio – at no cost. You can track, virtually in real-time, the current status of your assets and pending matters. The description below gives a brief glimpse into how an interface works, but these are only a few of the features that can be incorporated into your customized interface. We work with each of our clients to customize the interface to most appropriately meet your needs. 1. The site is accessed through the client-specific URL that we provide to you. Each site

is secure and requires a user name and password which can be generated and assigned for you or may be chosen. Your home page appears with a fully customizable layout, similar to the example shown here.

2. Your site can include links to each aspect of your portfolio, such as opinions, pending

litigation, contested matters, patents, trademarks, etc.:

3. To facilitate easy use, we provide a fully-searchable listing of your assets.

4. If you select, for example, one of your listed patents, detailed information, including

docketing information is displayed (this content is updated nightly).

5. In addition, the site features a document exchange tool, whereby client users and

Harness Dickey professionals can upload relevant documents for exchange, such as committee meeting notes, new invention disclosures, etc.

6. Lastly, we can include a variety of information regarding IP issues for quick

reference.

Other helpful features include: the ability to track competitor patents and IP assets for your reference, and a simple contact link that automatically starts an email message, with the "To:" field already filled in, in case you have questions or simply need to drop us a quick note. In addition to the many applications outlined above, the interface offers a number of other practical features that we are confident will make life much easier and give you a much greater handle on your IP portfolio. We look forward to working with you to develop your custom interface.
