ATLANTA, March 20, 2001 /PRNewswire/ -- Goldman IP Law  (www.GoldmanIPLaw.com) today announced its formation and launch as a new intellectual property practice specializing in senior-level patent services.

Over the last decade, the transition to an information-based economy has significantly increased the demand for senior-level patent services. At the same time, consolidation in the legal industry has dramatically decreased the supply of patent-specific law firms.

In response to these trends, Goldman IP Law offers top quality, senior-level patent services to corporate clients and general practice law firms. For corporate clients, Goldman IP Law acts as a lead counsel, as an outside specialist, or as a supplement to inside counsel in patent related matters. For general practice law firms, Goldman IP Law works as an extension to the existing practice, offering highly specialized services related to patent issues.

"After years of industry consolidation and increasing demand, we're excited about this new approach to delivering senior-level patent services," said Joel Goldman, firm founder and namesake. "We see this as the beginning of a new trend empowered by the Internet, one where highly specialized niche services are made available to regional and national clients on a more cost-effective basis."

Joel Goldman is a widely respected and knowledgeable patent specialist, with over twenty years of experience in all phases of U.S. and foreign intellectual property law, including patent, trademark and copyright prosecution, litigation and licensing. Joel currently focuses on counseling companies in the development, enforcement and use of intellectual property, especially with regard to telecommunications and business methods.
