Firm Resume

The firm's practice includes appellate and district court litigation, appeals to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, patent portfolio analysis, due diligence, validity and infringement investigations and related opinion work, and intellectual property sales and licensing.
All of the firm's partners have previously worked for first tier national law firms, allowing Chao Hadidi Stark and Barker to combine big firm expertise and experience with the attitude and responsiveness only available from a smaller firm. By keeping overhead to a minimum, Chao Hadidi Stark & Barker, LLP is able to provide high quality legal work at competitive rates not available at traditional blue chip firms. Both the courts and other law firms have recognized the firm's expertise by retaining its partners to serve in the roles of special master, expert witness, patent co-counsel and pro bono appellate counsel. Our partners also regularly author articles and make presentations on the latest developments in intellectual property law.
