Garlick & Markison

Garlick & Markison is a boutique law firm specializing in strategic patent development. Each practitioner has extensive experience in patent portfolio building, a background in electrical engineering or software. Many of our practitioners have advanced degrees in addition to their law degrees, and all are registered with the U.S. Patent Office. The relative strength of a patent portfolio increasingly distinguishes the best companies, so Garlick & Markison attorneys are key partners in building an ongoing strategic intellectual property and patent harvesting program with their clients. We work with our clients to identify, expand, prosecute and monetize relevant inventions, becoming long-term trusted team members. Our experience, technical expertise and patenting skills enable us to reduce inventor workload and create robust patent portfolios for our clients. We also have substantial and successful litigation experience, working closely with litigation attorneys to provide infringement analysis and expert witness services. In this role, Garlick & Markison attorneys investigate potentially infringing products and services and prepare claim charts based upon the investigation, serving both first and second chair roles in patent lawsuits.
