Fish & Richardson P.C.

Intellectual property is critical to your business, and protecting your IP is our business. As the leading IP law firm, we help innovators change the world through our unmatched litigation, patent, and post-grant experience across venues and prosecution needs. We touch more PTAB cases, IP appeals, and utility patents than anyone else, and no national firm handles more District Court patent cases. Many of our 450+ attorneys and technology specialists are also scientists who are as comfortable in a lab or cleanroom as a courtroom or patent office. We’re ready to hit the ground running to support your innovations, while distilling our vast technical and legal knowledge to resonate with business leaders or juries. You can be confident in every Fish lawyer in your corner because we intentionally build talent from the ground up and share knowledge generously and eagerly across the firm, leading to faster, fuller insights for you. Visionaries across eras have trusted us to protect their IP — from Alexander Graham Bell to today’s largest phone makers — and we’re ready to help build your IP strategy today with tomorrow in mind. Let’s change the world together.

Fish’s School of Fish: STEM Careers in IP Law program, is a cost-free educational series for rising juniors, rising seniors, and graduate students who are enrolled in a four-year undergraduate or graduate STEM program. School of Fish is designed to educate students about the field of intellectual property law. Sessions expose participants to the types of intellectual property, the multiple areas of IP law practice, and the various career paths of IP professionals, including attorneys, technology specialists, patent agents, and paralegals. Students who complete the program receive: $1000 scholarship; discount for LSAT or Patent Bar Exam preparation courses; reimbursement for LSAT or Patent Bar Exam fees; and personalized career advisement.

School of Fish has proven to be a valuable opportunity for cultivating the next generation of legal talent. Alumni have already launched their IP careers, with some entering law school, passing the Patent Bar, and securing technology specialist roles.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the continued impact of this initiative.
