The Recorder Honors Knobbe Martens in Annual “Litigation Department of the Year” Awards
Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP’s Litigation Department has been named The Recorder’s Litigation Department of the Year for Intellectual Property. Knobbe Martens was one of only two firms honored by the newspaper for their Intellectual Property litigation departments this year. In selecting Knobbe Martens as a winner, the editors considered the degree of difficulty, dollar value and importance of each matter to the client, the depth and breadth of the practice, and the use of innovative approaches.
