Headquartered in Chicago, Pattishall McAuliffe Newbury Hilliard & Geraldson has been a leader for years in trade mark matters. "If I had a conflict with a client who wanted someone like us - who knows what they're doing, gets good results and gives sensible advice - I'd send them to Pattishall," said a competitor. Brett August and veteran David Hilliard were recommended by peers, while a client described the team as having "great expertise" and being "very experienced people".
The firm successfully represented The John W Carson Foundation in a TTAB proceeding against Toilets.com in its attempt to register the mark Here's Johnny. Jonathan Jennings, Phillip Barengolts and David Beeman won summary judgment on all counts.
