Bodman PLC is pleased to announce the firm has been ranked “Highly Recommended” in Trademark Law and “Recommended” in Intellectual Property Law in Managing Intellectual Property’s IP Stars 2016. In addition, attorney Susan M. Kornfield, a member of the firm’s High Technology, Intellectual Property, and Workplace Law practice groups, has been selected as a “Trademark Star.”
