• Dear Friends

In this issue of Insights and Perspectives^TM we have focused on litigation and litigation related issues. With the financial crisis showing signs of improvement, it has become more important than ever for businesses to maintain and protect their market. Unfortunately, this means that sometimes resort must be had to the legal system.

Intellectual Property Litigation, particularly patent litigation is one of the most expensive types of legal proceeding. Typically, patent cases are handled by commercial litigators from large law firms with the aid of a patent attorney as co-counsel. Due to cost many of our clients have, over the years, elected to not enforce their intellectual property rights. Recognizing the needs of, and problems faced by our clients, both large and small, we have developed a litigation team and approach that provides a more affordable solution to this dilemma.

With experience levels equal to, or exceeding most commercial litigation firms MKG is capable of exclusively handling virtually any intellectual property related litigation. We are able to offer these services at rates significantly lower than those of most large firms. Our litigators have decades of experience with associate experience levels being not less than 6 years. At MKG, your matters will never be "pushed down" to first and second year attorneys.

Since cost should not be the only consideration when selecting a law firm, we can also provide references upon request. At MKG, it is our mission to provide excellence in legal services that keeps pace with and anticipates the needs of our clients in a manner that adheres to the highest standards of quality and integrity. We will provide these services in a timely manner and at fees that benefit our clients.
