Bautista is recommended in Ohio and ranked in the bronze band for individual practitioners. WTR has described him as “extremely responsive when it comes to filing trademark applications protecting clients from infringement, defending against trademark claims made by third parties, and giving strategic advice.”

Boylan received a silver ranking as a recommended practitioner in Minnesota. She has been commended for her two decades of experience while carving out a place in the AI field.

Polak is ranked in the silver band in Indiana. As chair of Taft’s Intellectual Property practice, “he has passed many a stern litigation test and is highly reputed nationally as a winning advocate.”
