(Feb. 20) – Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease announced that four patent attorneys from McDermott, Will & Emery have lateraled over to the firm’s Houston office.
Carey Jordan, Iona Kaiser and Jeremy Harrison have joined as partners and Donna Haynes will serve as of counsel. Jordan noted the firm’s regional platform, strategic investment in patent transactional work, common clients and its people as reasons for the move.
“Over the last eight to 10 years, patent transactional work has increasingly become more cost-sensitive for clients,” she said. “Vorys’ regional platform and lower rates lets us manage these concerns to the betterment of our client service.”
Jordan advises clients on patent prosecution and global intellectual property management, agreements, licenses, transactions and risk consulting in the chemicals, energy and materials science arenas. She says there is a growing need for businesses to have access to high quality service with predictable cost throughout the life of a patent family.
“Businesses should be able to determine and count on the costs involved in pursuing patents and maintaining patent portfolios,” she said.
