Chicago (PRWEB) July 6, 2009 -- Two partners with Marshall, Gerstein & Borun LLP have been recognized as among the world's leading intellectual property strategists by Intellectual Asset Management magazine. Robert Gerstein and Patrick Ertel are the only partners from an IP boutique firm to be accorded this honor and among just a handful of Illinois lawyers to be recognized.
The IAM 250 - the World's Leading IP Strategists identifies those individuals who offer world-class services related to the development and implementation of strategies that enable IP owners to maximize the value of their rights portfolios. Attorneys, consultants, financiers and intermediaries from around the world were nominated, and only those who demonstrate "exceptional skill sets, as well as profound insights into the development, creation and management of IP value" were selected, according to the magazine.
"Having two of our partners named to the IAM 250 is further recognition of our leadership in the area of intellectual property law," said Jeff Sharp, managing partner of Marshall, Gerstein & Borun. "Like many of our attorneys, Bob and Pat bring very specific technical expertise to the table, with engineering degrees and real-world experience that informs their strategic insights and delivers superior value to our clients."
Robert Gerstein has been with Marshall, Gerstein & Borun since 1988. His IP practice focuses especially on patent and trademark licensing transactions, along with copyright, unfair competition and contract litigation.

He is also a member of the firm's executive committee.
Patrick Ertel has cultivated a niche practice in counseling major corporations and technology-based start-ups on strategic planning issues centered on intellectual property. In his 35 years of practice, he has become known for negotiating and drafting technology-based agreements to extract full value from his clients' intellectual property. He has authored numerous articles on the philosophical and ethical issues related to technology transfer and also was recommended by his peers as a Leading Lawyer and voted an Illinois Super Lawyer.
