Patent Attorneys in High Demand

"Intellectual property litigation is hot… and getting hotter. Last year there were an unprecedented number of international patent filings, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). WIPO receives on average more than 400 Patent Cooperation Treaty applications every day, according to Francis Gurry, Deputy Director General. In total, a record 156,100 applications were filed in 2007, representing a 4.7% jump from the year before. The United States led the pack, accounting for 33.5% of all filings. Rounding out the top five is Japan, Germany, Korea and France. And for the fourth year running, WIPO says the most notable growth rates came from countries in Northeast Asia."
