Bookoff McAndrews, founded in 2012, is a patent counseling and prosecution law firm handling patent procurement, portfolio analysis, due diligence and contentious matters outside of litigation for clients from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Bookoff McAndrews (BoMc) is a patent counseling and prosecution law firm founded in 2012 by Les Bookoff and Roland McAndrews, both former partners at Finnegan. The firm concentrates on patent work conducted outside the courtroom - what it describes as "everything patent that's outside the courtroom" - a scope that deliberately excludes litigation. Its practice spans patent procurement and prosecution, portfolio analysis, due diligence investigations, contentious (non-litigation) patent matters, and patent strategy development.
The firm advises domestic and international clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Service lines include strategic patent counseling and prosecution for both US and foreign filings; analysis of client patent portfolios to inform business and intellectual-property strategy; IP due diligence investigations supporting transactions and business decisions; and representation in contentious patent matters short of courtroom litigation. The Legal 500 has recognised the firm as a top U.S. Patent Prosecution Firm.
Bookoff McAndrews has drawn notice for its working conditions.
