S Horowitz & Co handles probably the biggest number of patent litigations in the country and enters the trade mark prosecution table for the first time in recognition of the large portfolios it handles for clients such as Dreamworks, Allergan and Aroma Espresso Bar. The firm is "effective, creative and client focused," says one client. "It provides complete, timely and expert advice and handles all these matters to our complete satisfaction," says another, while a third client says: "Its advice is top-notch, it is creative and it listens to us. They are also always available". Senior partner Tal Band has worked with Ran Vogel and Dovev Apel over recent years to represent generics giant Teva Pharmaceuticals in numerous patent cases for generic versions of drugs including Lipitor, Plavix, Effexor and, most recently, Avandia. The firm also advises Teva on trade mark and copyright matters. The same team advised the Manufacturers' Association of Israel (Pharmaceutical Branch) on patent legislative procedures and in petitions to the Israeli High Court of Justice, while partner Avi Ordo was busy advising the Yeda Research & Development Company on a high value multi-patent royalties claim. Tal Band "is an excellent lawyer" says one client, "extremely bright and a very dedicated business partner. His personality is charming and he is easy to get along with. I am extremely fortunate to have him as our lawyer. I have also found Vogel to be a dedicated and top-notch lawyer".
