Editorial coverage

Ehrlich & Fenster keeps its position as a leading patent prosecution firm. It is "very open-minded, has a strategic point of view of the cases and manages cases with transparency... it is also dedicated, ready to meet whatever deadline if requested and has great administration" says a client. The firm has a market reputation of a high quality patent outfit, especially in chemistry, medicine and biotechnology. "I use more than 10 firms to handle my portfolio and cases, and Ehrlich is by far the best... when I have a complicated task, it is my first choice," says a client. Gal Ehrlich "combines thorough understanding of a client's business needs with the ability to expose the heart of an invention in its broader scope" says a client, while Roy Melzer "is also very good and combines creativity and practicality in drafting and prosecuting". The "individuals are superb and very professional, the office as a whole is very reliable and is a secure place to maintain all our files without any worry, they are organised, trusted and have good back-up," says a third client. Among recent successes, the firm saved a client from IP litigation in Japan, struck major licensing deals for drug and agro-technology companies, and advised clients on interventions, licence agreements and patent sales.
