WASHINGTON, DC (May 26, 2017) – Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox is pleased to announce that Chambers & Partners USA has again listed the firm with a “Band 1” ranking among Washington, DC’s leading law firms in the area of intellectual property. This recognition marks the fifteenth year consecutive year that the definitive professional guide has rated the firm among the best-of-the-best firms in the United States.

The Chambers guide describes the firm as “highly valued for its ability to prepare and prosecute patents for companies active in a variety of industry sectors including computer software, engineering and life sciences. Continues to excel in IPR and other USPTO proceedings and represents a fine choice of counsel for startups and emerging companies.” Also included in the firm’s profile are comments from Sterne Kessler’s clients who state how the firm’s “really skilled team of lawyers” has enabled the firm to become “an icon” in patent prosecution.

In addition to the firm’s “Band 1” ranking in the category “Intellectual Property: Patent Prosecution – District of Columbia,” the newly released edition of Chambers features Sterne Kessler directors David K.S. Cornwell (Band 2), Jorge A. Goldstein, Ph.D. (Band 2), and Robert Greene Sterne (Band 1) as “outstanding attorney[s]” in their field. Additionally, Tracy-Gene G. Durkin is noted as a “Recognised Practitioner.” Dr. Goldstein is also ranked at the “Band 2” level in the “Life Sciences: IP/Patent Litigation — Nationwide” category.
