Based in Fairfield County Connecticut and New York City, the success of Grimes & Battersby is due in large measure to the accomplishments of its individual attorneys, many of whom are leaders in their field. Our attorneys remain on the cutting-edge of legal issues and are considered trend setters in intellectual property law; including such emerging areas as merchandising and character licensing, the Internet, e-commerce, and domain name arbitration. Client satisfaction remains the firm's principal objective. We recognize that the legal profession is a service business and that responsiveness to a client is paramount in building a lasting attorney-client relationship.

The firm has become one of the leading licensing firms in the world and regularly participates in the negotiation and drafting of a diverse group of transactional matters for an equally diverse group of clients. Every year, license agreements for at least one of the then-hot properties will have been negotiated by a member of the firm. While the firm's initial focus was on transactional matters, the litigation side of our practice has grown substantially over the past decade. Grimes & Battersby attorneys have been involved in major litigations in the patent, trademark and licensing areas, all with excellent results for the client. Similarly, the firm is always among the national leaders based on the number of trademark applications filed each year.

Grimes & Battersby remains quite visible through its publishing and speaking efforts. The firm serves as Executive Editors of The Licensing Journal, E-Commerce Law, and The IP Litigator. Over the years, firm members have authored more than fifteen books on subjects involving intellectual property and licensing matters; including, Drafting Internet Agreements, The Law of Merchandising & Character Licensing, License Agreements: Forms and Checklists; The Licensing Law Handbook, The Licensing Deskbook, Licensing Update, Licensing Royalty Rates, A Primer on Technology Licensing and A Toy & Game Inventor's Guide. Firm attorneys have also written literally hundreds of articles on the subjects of intellectual property and licensing law, and have served as committee chairs, officers, and on boards of directors of some of the major bar associations.
