Intellectual Property has become much more “intellectual” since 1884, when Fay Sharpe opened its doors. Then the buzz in the patent world was the invention of the fountain pen. Now the issues involved in protecting intellectual assets have become incredibly complex, compounded by the emergence of technologies that, until recently, were unimaginable.
Back then, the firm’s mission was simple: Focus on a single service and perform that service tirelessly. More than a century later, we remain focused: IP. It’s all we do!
Today, Fay Sharpe is a leading Midwest law firm specializing in everything IP. This “boutique” status allows us to provide the most complete array of services when it comes to defining, defending and upholding the intellectual property rights of our clients.
