Grimes & Battersby, LLP has become one of the leading intellectual property law firms in the world with a particular specialty in licensing. Its attorneys regularly participate in the negotiation and drafting of a diverse group of transactional matters for an equally diverse group of clients. Every year, license agreements for at least one of the then-hot properties will have been negotiated by a member of the firm. While the firm's initial focus was on transactional matters, the litigation side of our practice has grown substantially over the past decade. Grimes & Battersby attorneys have been involved in major litigations in the patent, trademark and licensing areas, all with excellent results for the client. Similarly, the firm is always among the national leaders based on the number of trademark applications filed each year.
