Fish & Richardson has flourished from our founding in Boston by Frederick Perry Fish in 1878 – representing visionaries such as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright brothers – to our work today representing the world's most innovative and influential companies.. As one of the largest Fish offices, the 58 attorneys in Boston handle the full range of intellectual property (IP) matters, including patent prosecution and counseling, litigation in District Courts and the International Trade Commission, appellate work at the Federal Circuit, and post-grant matters before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Fish attorneys in Boston stand out from those at peer firms in several ways. First, we have a deep bench of seasoned IP trial lawyers; we don’t rely on one or two superstars to try all of our cases. Second, we have more lawyers with science and technology degrees than any other firm, meaning that clients don’t have to spend time teaching us their technology. And third, we serve clients by forming customized teams that understand their clients’ industries and technologies. Our clients recommend us to their peers because we understand their business needs and technology, are deeply committed to their success, use cutting-edge tools to deliver the best value, and get the best results. The Boston office continues the firm’s tradition of representing high-tech and high-profile companies. Fish’s Boston-based attorneys have collectively handled more than 770 patent cases worldwide, including representing more patent defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts than any other firm. This range of clients and cases provides challenging work and early responsibility for associates.
