Ian O’Neill joined Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s Intellectual Property practice group as a shareholder in the Denver office. His addition further strengthens the firm’s robust services in this growing area of the law. Brownstein’s IP practice is now one of the largest based in the Mountain West and includes more than 30 professionals who focus their practice on intellectual property, including litigation, patent prosecution, and trademark and copyright licensing and enforcement.
