The full-service firm offers IP services from six offices across the US and further key locations in London, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul, working with international contacts to curate a global strategy for clients. The consumer branded products sector is the firm’s strength, with clients such as TV Guide and Bronco Wine Company and US stock market index Dow Jones relying on Ropes & Gray’s trademark practice.
