Frankfurt Kurnit in WTR 1000 2025
Frankfurt Kurnit is included in World Trademark Review 1000 – The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals for 2025. WTR says, “[c]ompanies in the entertainment and arts industries need look no further than the uniquely specialised Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz for all their intellectual property protection needs." Possessing a niche in the market, the firm has since extended its offering to clients from an array of industries, all of whom can expect business-minded solutions to their IP issues. Catherine M.C. Farrelly, Co-Chair of the trademark and brand management group leverages more than two decades in the field in her practice, which extends across all trademark needs to assist her clients in attaining and enforcing their valued marks. Her teammate and Co-Chair, Kimberly M. Maynard's expertise lies in creating and implementing steadfast enforcement strategies for her clients' global portfolios, with the two currently representing New York Road Runners in protecting their rights to the ‘Brooklyn Half’ trademark. Chair of the IP practice Edward H. Rosenthal completes the firm’s line-up of WTR 1000 representatives. A thought leader in the space who is highly respected by peers, Edward Rosenthal possesses talents in both the copyright and trademarks spaces, having led many clients to victory over his four-decade-long career, including airline JetBlue in a drawn-out matter before the TTAB.
