Dilworth Paxson LLP
Founded in 1933, Dilworth Paxson LLP conducts a broad and diverse regional and national law practice representing a wide variety of clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to closely-held businesses, governmental entities, individuals, and other institutions. The Firm’s commitment is and remains to be to provide results-oriented legal service by fostering an environment which encourages entrepreneurial, independent, and creative thinking. This commitment is predicated on the belief that clients deserve lawyers who anticipate their needs, who thoroughly understand the task at hand, and who demonstrate the expertise and sound judgment to work efficiently with clients using the latest technology. Specifically, the Firm represented Signature Financial Group, Inc. in a matter which involved the patentability of software and business methods [State Street Bank and Trust Company v. Signature Financial Group, Inc., 149 F.3d 1368 (Fed. Cir. 1998)]. The Federal Circuit held that such subject matter is patentable thereby extending patent protection to industries and technologies not previously covered. Many commentators have described this case as one of the most important patent rulings in the last decade. Dilworth Paxson maintains a strong and unique tradition of public service and civic involvement which includes many former and present members of the firm holding a wide variety of positions at the federal, state, and local levels of government and on the boards of charitable and civic institutions.
