For the 10th year in a row, Skiermont Derby is thrilled to have been ranked as a leading patent litigation firm in Texas by IAM Patent 1000: The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners for 2023. IAM notes: Skiermont Derby is a redoubtable trial boutique and an agile strike force for patent infringement litigation – one that has netted success time and again in Texas and in many courts across the country. The ensemble is equally comfortable handling high-technology and life sciences cases, and understands what it takes to win in federal district courts, the PTAB and the Federal Circuit. Its professionals are highly results and business focused, the tone being set in this regard by Paul Skiermont, a compelling presenter in court and a creative and deep-thinking strategist behind the scenes. Mieke Malmberg and Sarah Spires continue to distinguish themselves as high-stakes trial lawyers; Spires is a top contact in the firm for post-grant proceedings. IAM compiles recommendations with a team of researchers from Intellectual Asset Management magazine who undertake extensive qualitative research to identify top firms and individuals based on their depth of expertise, market presence and sophistication of work.
