Haynes Boone Partner David McCombs was ranked as one of the world’s leading patent lawyers by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) in its recently released IAM Global Leaders 2022 directory.
To qualify for inclusion in the directory, lawyers must be ranked in the gold tier of the IAM Patent 1000 directory, the annual ranking of leading patent counsel worldwide. Gold-banded lawyers are those identified as “the crème de la crème,” IAM said. “Their success hinges on reputations established over lengthy periods of time, something which enables them to secure the most high-profile, big-ticket instructions from the most demanding of clients.”
David is primary counsel for many leading corporations in inter partes review (IPR) and is regularly identified as one of the most active attorneys appearing before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
He was included in IAM Patent 1000 2021 directory along with 13 other Haynes Boone lawyers, who ranked as best-in-class in patent prosecution, litigation, and transactions in various U.S. jurisdictions. IAM researchers wrote that David was awarded special credit and recommended as a market leader on each of the IAM Patent 1000 prosecution, litigation and transactions tables. He “runs a very well-oiled counselling and post-grant team that is efficient, extremely responsive and highly effective.”
IAM researchers offered praise for the entire firm, as well: “Haynes Boone doesn’t just go after the juicy disputes – though it certainly handles those in abundance – but practises patent law with uncommon rigour; steeped in the arts of patent procurement and monetisation, as well as litigation and post-grant proceedings, it is a destination of choice for those seeking the efficiency of a one-stop shop.”
