"Duane Morris has been our IP counsel for the better part of 20 years. Our particular focus is copyrights and trademarks, and this is a firm with great knowledge of the area. What I like best about the representation are two things: One is accessibility – this is a very responsive firm, always available, always on. Two, they offer practical solutions to complex problems, by which I mean that the firm’s lawyers are flexible and understand not just the substantive legal issues, but the underlying economics of the client. In layman's terms. we get good bang for our buck. We’re in a highly competitive industry, which is why Duane Morris fits right into our system. For instance on the international side, Duane Morris doesn’t try to play messenger between our in-house staff and foreign counsel – but instead makes the introduction and hands the relationship off to us, which is exactly what we want. This is a down-to-earth firm with great expertise, good foundational sense of our business and a terrific grasp of the economics we're facing."
