Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
Intellectual Property Today (IP Today) magazine released its "Top Patent Firms" rankings for 2012 and Thomas|Horstemeyer is ranked 22nd among the 326 law firms identified in the rankings. Thomas|Horstemeyer's ranking reflects the firm's dedication to the acquisition of patents for its clients and its expertise in securing such patents.
Thomas|Horstemeyer has been recognized as one of the top 50 law firms to obtain first action allowances from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. First action allowances occur when the Patent Examiner allows all of the claims of a patent application without making any rejections. Such allowances are rare because, in practice, Patent Examiners nearly always reject the claims at least once. By securing first action allowances, Thomas|Horstemeyer reduces client costs that are associated with responding to such rejections.
