The 2023 edition of World Trademark Review 1000 (WTR) has recognized Lane Powell as a top trademark law firm in Oregon and Washington, naming Tiffany Connors, Ken Davis, Paul Swanson, and Steve Winters as among the world’s leading trademark professionals.
WTR commended Lane Powell as “a standout trademark service provider in the Pacific Northwest. The accomplished specialists stationed in its Seattle and Portland offices draw on deep knowledge of key economic sectors such as retail, apparel, food and beverages, sports equipment and agribusiness to tailor their service and solutions very effectively.”
The guide provided the following commentary for each recognized attorney:
- “Connors is the firm’s lead Seattle-based IP litigator, with plenty of trial experience and a calm demeanour that sees her through the most highly charged cases.”
- “A transactional ace with sophisticated licensing skills, Winters provides wide-ranging strategic brands assistance.”
- “Swanson is an authority on the branding of new varieties of fresh produce and plant patenting and is thus a vital partner for agribusinesses.”
- “In Davis, the ensemble has one of the region’s best IP litigators and a lawyer with significantly more trial experience than many of his peers.”
The WTR 1000 is the only standalone publication to recommend individual practitioners and their firms exclusively in the trademark field, and identifies the leading players in over 80 key jurisdictions globally.
