Fish & Richardson, a premier global intellectual property law firm, is sought-after and trusted by the world’s most innovative companies and influential technology leaders. Fish offers patent, trademark, and copyright prosecution, counseling, and litigation services for a wide range of companies, from startups to the Fortune 100. Our success is rooted in our creative and inclusive culture, which values the diversity of people, experiences, and perspectives. 

Since our founding in 1878, we have represented some of the world’s greatest innovators, including Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright brothers. We put this pedigree to work every day as strategic advisors to a broad range of clients that includes thinkers, makers, and doers of every size and in every industry. Our technically trained attorneys are trusted by the world’s industry leaders to obtain, protect, and enforce their most valuable IP assets.

When an organization’s livelihood rests on its IP, the ability to litigate effectively can be crucial, and Fish has won some of the most significant IP trials of the past decades. Our lawyers are in court nearly every day. With a packed docket and over 140 years of experience, we have seen and done it all. We have experience in virtually every jurisdiction and maintain broad credibility among judges, juries, and opposing counsel. We have proficiency in virtually every technology area imaginable, and we know how to present the facts and the law clearly to judges and juries. Our deep bench of attorneys with first-chair trial experience in every technology makes us the go-to firm for the most technically complex, bet-the-company cases. 

We have also long been a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the legal industry. Our Racial Justice Initiative seeks to address issues of systemic racism in our profession and our society through ongoing firm-wide education and partnerships with third-party organizations. Through the initiative, we present regular firm-wide town hall meetings discussing diversity, equity, and inclusion and partner with pro bono organizations such as the Law Firm Antiracism Alliance to effect change for our pro bono clients of color. Core components of our Racial Justice Initiative include ongoing firm-wide education and racial bias training, an online resource page for information regarding racial justice issues and current events, and external engagement through pro bono work focused on racial justice. Our attorneys may count up to 50 hours of creditable time each year on approved DEI contributions such as participating in affinity group meetings, mentoring others through our diversity mentorship programs, and attending firm-sponsored diversity recruiting events.
