Harness IP, one of the country’s largest intellectual property law firms, is pleased to announce that its intellectual property attorneys in their Metro Detroit office are included in the 2018 list of Michigan Super Lawyers, while one is named to this year’s list of Rising Stars.

The lawyers include:

Michigan Super Lawyers 2018

• Lisabeth Coakley
• Glenn Forbis
• Paul Keller
• Robert Lenihan

Michigan Rising Stars

• Michael Nye

In business for nearly 100 years, Harness IP is focused exclusively on intellectual property law. The firm has a bench of 109 attorneys, with more than 100 attorneys holding degrees in science and engineering. The firm’s attorneys offer a critical mass of technical experience and legal expertise that allows them to offer the highest quality legal counsel with both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This is not only true for routine patent and trademark matters, but for all areas of IP law.

These honors are granted to only the most respected lawyers in the state, with no more than 5% of lawyers in each state making the Super Lawyers list and no more than 2.5% earning Rising Star status.

Nominations are based on a rigorous, three-step system of peer reviews and independent research to evaluate key indicators of professional success.  The Rising Stars designation follows the same process as Super Lawyers, with the added qualifier that only lawyers who are under 40 and who have practiced law for 10 years or less can earn this prestigious honor. Selections for both lists are made each year and announced on a state-by-state basis.
