Even more important, we understand that although your intellectual property may be critical to your business, you are not simply in the business of obtaining patents. Each patent in your portfolio serves a specific business purpose, whether it is to protect your commercial product, to provide licensing revenue, or to strategically innovate around your competitor’s IP. When handling your intellectual property, our actions are informed and guided by the business purpose that you seek to acheive. |

As the firm expands, we will continue to focus on value and experience as cornerstones to our practice. |

Most law firms are structured to maximize the
number of hours an attorney can bill. To accomplish this, a law firm
typically employs a small army of support staff, whose purpose is to keep the
attorney billing. The cost of all those salaries and rent for the very
expensive office space those people occupy is passed on to you, the client.
It's no wonder that billing rates are out of control. |

Mendelson
IP is different. The firm is structured to provide maximum value to the
client. The fancy office space and bloated support staff of a
traditional law firm have been stripped to the essentials. No
architectural firm was hired to design awe-inspiring steel and
granite-trimmed office space in an over-priced building with a view
overlooking the bay. No marketing firm was hired to help with our
"branding." Here, you will find no HR department, no IT department,
no librarian, no secretarial manager, and no marketing department.
We don't have a paralegal bill for work that could have been done by a
secretary and we don't charge for most routine office expenses. Sure,
working this way means that fewer hours can be billed in a day, but the end
result is dramatic cost-savings for the client. We can bill our time
for less than most firms charge for a first year associate. We happen
to think that matters. |

| By contracting with a global
commercial real estate company, we have access to as much or as little office
space as needed, when it is needed, wherever in the world it is needed.
If you need a conference room for a day, or a full litigation suite for
a month, we have it for you. We only pay for the space we use, so our
rates don't have to reflect the cost of leasing overpriced and underutilized
space. |

What have
we had to give up by structuring the firm in this manner? In a word,
nothing; nothing but waste and inefficiency. |

Value and experience, for
experience you will value. |
