Laurence & Phillips IP Law

Laurence & Phillips (L&P) IP Law is a micro boutique law firm specializing in post-grant proceedings at the USPTO.  Founders Kevin Laurence and Matt Phillips have been repeatedly recognized for their accomplishments in post-grant proceedings.  Kevin and Matt created and taught the popular and critically acclaimed post-grant practice class for Patent Resources Group for over ten years.  Kevin was patent lawyer of the year in DC in 2016, and Matt was patent lawyer of the year in Portland, Oregon in 2020.

L&P IP Law consists of only experienced partners, who work their cases personally.  The firm has no associates; your case is not a training ground for inexperienced lawyers.  The lawyers at L&P are former “big law” partners who have eschewed the big-firm model for a more personal, hands-on model.  L&P regularly opposes big firms and has accumulated an impressive track record.  For example, Matt has obtained successful outcomes in approximately 70% of the cases he has led to decision at the PTAB on behalf of patent owners.

The lawyers at L&P IP Law are deeply experienced in handling all types of post-grant proceedings, from IPRs and PGRs at the PTAB, to reexaminations and reissues at the CRU, and related appeals at the Federal Circuit.  The firm regularly handles the USPTO proceedings for patents involved in litigation with nine-figure sums at stake.  L&P lawyers are adept at coordinating with litigation counsel and executing complimentary prosecution strategies for family-member patent applications as well.
