Frankfurt Kurnit in WTR 1000 2022
Frankfurt Kurnit is included in World Trademark Review 1000 – The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals for 2022. WTR says, “Professional, timely and accurate”, is the verdict on premier media, entertainment and advertising boutique Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, whose trademark lawyers “produce outstanding results while meeting tight deadlines and charging reasonable fees”. Prioritizing close relationships, the team provides bespoke services in recognition of the unique needs of each client. The advice given by the likes of Catherine Farrelly and Kimberly Maynard is always easily actionable, too, which is highly appreciated. As chair of the trademark and brand management group, Farrelly provides strong leadership to her firm as well as those she represents. One source comments: “We couldn’t be happier with what Catherine and her colleagues have done for us. In particular, she has successfully handled numerous high-profile clearance issues and agreement negotiations, as well as settled a long-running contentious matter. More generally, she has coordinated with foreign counsel on multi-jurisdictional trademark matters, which she has done very effectively. Catherine has sound judgement and a practical mindset, and completes assignments efficiently, delivering exceptional results at a significantly lower billing rate than many other firms, particularly in New York.” Her frequent collaborator Maynard also garners glowing notices: “Kim is prompt and cost effective, and works with agility and resourcefulness in very competitive spaces.” She has a high degree of expertise when it comes to new product launches in the e-commerce space, which puts her in high demand as more businesses move online. Chair of the IP practice Edward Rosenthal completes the firm’s line-up of WTR 1000 representatives. A polished litigator and enforcer, he brings gravitas to the courtroom and the negotiating table.
