The hourly rates of Attorneys practicing Intellectual Property - defined as litigation, not prosecution, of Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks in this Report - continue to rise and are some of the highest of any practice area. This is due to 1) the fact that Intellectual Property permeates all sectors of the global economy so there is significant amounts of legal work 2) the complexity of Intellectual Property from both a legal point of view as well as a technical one especially with Patent Litigation that almost always includes multiple practice areas to address the legal issues surrounding a complex business or manufacturing process and 3) the high-stakes nature of IP litigation for the companies involved.

Corporate Counsel Intellectual Property Legal Services Pricing Guide 2014 is the most comprehensive report on individual Attorney hourly rates in the IP Practice and details all of the major Private Law Firms in this important market.

Each Section of the Report - Top-Level Summary, Individual Firm Detail, City Detail and Patent, Copyright and Trademark Analysis lists the hourly rates for each position (Partner, Counsel, Associate and Support Staff) at the Firm from 2009 - 2014.

The Report provides top-level information for the Top 10, 50, 100, 101 - 200 Firms, in terms of annual revenue size, as well as smaller and boutique firms not in the Top 200, followed by each individual Firm making up that grouping and then by City.
