Blank Rome hires two from Conley Rose
Blank Rome has hired Jonathan Harris as partner and David Wilson as of counsel in the firm’s IP and technology group in Houston, Texas.
Both join from IP boutique firm Conley Rose.
Harris guides large corporate technology companies in developing and managing their patent portfolios.
His clients include high-tech electrical, software, medical device, and Fortune 500 companies.
Wilson prepares and prosecutes patents for clients operating in various fields of the electrical and mechanical arts, including software, telecoms and semiconductors.
He also focuses his practice on drafting legal opinions and representing clients in infringement and invalidity cases.
Alan Hoffman, chairman and managing partner of the firm, said: “Our IP practice has seen exciting and significant growth, particularly over the past two years. We’re confident that Jon and David will help us continue our momentum, bringing a high level of patent prosecution and litigation skills to the team.”
In 2015, Blank Rome added 23 attorneys from IP law firm Wong, Cabello, Lutsch, Rutherford & Brucculeri, and 25 IP attorneys as part of its transaction with Dickstein Shapiro in 2016.
