As one of the top IP firms in St. Louis and in the nation, Harness IP understands the correlation between our community and our success. Our partners, professionals, and staff continually seek to give back to the community in a variety of ways, such as through volunteering time and donating money to worthy causes and charitable organizations.

In one recent example, our St. Louis office held their 15^th annual charity week. All money collected during the week of October 9 went directly to The Joshua Chamberlain Society (“JCS”).

About Harness IP’s 15^th Annual Charity Week

The St. Louis team kicked off the week with a visit from one of JCS’s heroes, Corporal Todd Nicely of the United States Marine Corps. Over lunch, he shared his story about his time in the Marine Corps, his life changing injuries sustained while on tour in Afghanistan, and the impact of JCS. Corporal Nicely currently lives in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, in a smart home that was built with the help of JCS and the Gary Sinese Foundation, where he receives ongoing support from JCS.

Inspired by the visit from Corporal Nicely, Harness IP set its sights on a plan to raise money and awareness for the JCS cause. The week-long effort included money-raising efforts in the form of food days, casual days and various raffles for staff. In total, the St. Louis IP attorneys and staff collected more than $5200 that will go toward supporting veterans and their families.
