Hirschhorn were recently named part of the IAM Patent 1000. Belisario is ranked for transactions, and Dunston and Hirschhorn are ranked for litigation. Dunston is also ranked for her work in prosecution.

Belisario assists clients in nearly all aspects of intellectual property law, including patent and trademark procurement; trade secret protection; development and implementation of IP licensing and monetization strategies; advice and opinions relating to issues of patentability, freedom to operate, and infringement; and challenging, defending, and enforcing IP rights in litigations in court and before the USPTO.
