This week, Venable announced the addition of five new attorneys to its patent prosecution and litigation groups in the Washington, DC office. Partners
Mark Shanks,
Toni Herbert, and
Michele Frank, of counsel
Therese Finan and associate
Fabian M. Koenigbauer joined Venable to focus on litigation as well as patent counsel/prosecution. The group also handles M&A, commercialization and licensing of IP assets.
News of the group’s move was highlighted in the January 24, 2012 issues of
The Hill and
The Am Law Daily’s “The Churn.”
The Am Law Daily noted that Shanks “said he was drawn to Venable by its combination of a strong general practice with a healthy patent prosecutions workload.”
