About
Conner IP focuses on intellectual property, enforcement, dispute resolution, licensing, and litigation. For big matters, Conner IP works with other law firms as co-counsel. Today's technology allows lawyers from different firms to work seamlessly regardless of location in co-counsel arrangements. Co-counsel arrangements have substantial benefits. For example, they promote friendly competition that helps elevate the best ideas and encourages a higher level of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In recognition of the results Conner IP has been providing in its first three years of service, Best Law Firms™ added Conner IP to a short list of much larger law firms with a Tier 1 ranking in Minneapolis for Litigation -Intellectual Property (2026 edition). Before launching Conner IP, I had the good fortune of working with some of the most accomplished lawyers in the world on high-impact matters at Am Law “A-List” firms Ropes & Gray (New York, Palo Alto, and Tokyo) and Morrison Foerster (Tokyo) and at Am Law 100 firm Dorsey & Whitney (Minneapolis). My own success, which includes an undefeated record in patent litigation, depended on collaborating with many colleagues and clients of diverse backgrounds in many different settings to resolve complex issues involving cutting-edge technology.
