TECHNOLOGY LAW FIRM OF CHOICE

Our clients are at the cutting edge of technology and innovation. And they know that with our exclusive focus on intellectual property law, we can provide them with the technical and legal experience they need to protect and enforce their intellectual property rights.

YOUR INNOVATION, OUR PASSION

At Klarquist, we believe that the best way to become an expert in something is to dedicate your career to it. As one of the oldest and largest full-service IP boutique firms in the Northwest, we’ve dedicated ourselves to protecting and enforcing IP rights for over 80 years. The world has changed since the firm was founded in 1941, but our passion for technology and science has not. We’re not just a law firm, we’re your strategic partner in turning your innovative ideas into valuable assets.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR NEEDS

We know that no two businesses are the same. Whether you’re a solo inventor, a mid-size company, or a global corporation, our exceptional team, comprised of former engineers, scientists, and in-house IP counsel, harnesses their industry experience to deliver practical and strategic solutions.

KLARQUIST BUILDS LITIGATION TEAMS WITH CARE AND PRECISION – THE SAME WAY YOU BUILD YOUR PRODUCTS AND INNOVATIONS.

We staff our cases with the right people for each case. Building winning strategies in an IP dispute require a deep knowledge of the law. Our litigators average more than 20 years of experience litigating IP disputes. This extensive experience allows us to develop winning strategies that other firms miss and avoid pitfalls that other firms don’t know are there. In addition, since more than 90% of our attorneys have technical degrees in fields ranging from EE/CS to Biotechnology, we understand your technology as well as the law.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

At Klarquist, we believe that a diverse workforce is a better workforce. We’re committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the STEM and legal fields. Our efforts in this area not only make us a stronger firm, but also enable us to bring a broader range of perspectives to your IP challenges. Learn more about our commitment to diversity, equity, & inclusion.

TRANSPARENT COSTS & PREDICTABILITY

At Klarquist, we prioritize managing legal costs effectively while aiming for the best outcomes. We actively monitor our fees to adhere to budgets, address unforeseen circumstances promptly, and communicate any unexpected developments that might impact the budget. We provide early, realistic cost assessments, allowing clients to make informed decisions about their outside counsel budgets. For litigation, we establish budgets at the engagement outset and assign an attorney to ensure compliance. Our prosecution services are offered on fixed fee budgets for greater predictability. Additionally, our Portland location enables us to deliver high-quality services at lower rates than firms in major cities like New York or San Francisco.

KNOWN FOR THE CLIENTS WE KEEP

Our clients range from inventors to some of the world’s largest and most prestigious companies. Our long-lasting relationships speak volumes about the quality of our services. Some clients have been with the firm for more than half a century.
