Client Speak: Client Co-Marketing

By Allan Colman

Client co-marketing builds relationships and sends an unmistakable message. Imagine you're Senior Intellectual Property Counsel of a Fortune 100 company. Every law firm within two continents of your main office has begun posting commentary, sending communiqu's, and publishing articles about the latest milestone ruling ' as of this writing, that would be KSR v. Teleflex. There's an article in a national journal by someone at the Smith firm. Someone at the Jones firm has a piece in the local legal newspaper. Another publication, however, has an article co-written by the general counsel of a major manufacturer and a partner at the Thomas firm about the possible effects of KSR on business and legal management.
