In response to Detroit’s growing automotive industry, J. King Harness established Harness IP in 1921. Serving as the head of the patent department for the Ford Motor Company, Harness understood the value of expertise in intellectual property and set out to open a firm that would focus exclusively on intellectual property law.

Today, we are one of the top IP law firms in the U.S. measured by both the number of attorneys and by objective rankings of results. Our trademark and patent attorneys represent world leaders in business and technology, and our collective experience spans practically every practice area and niche specialty within intellectual property law.

Clients rely on Harness IP because our attorneys know how to turn the complexities of intellectual property law into straightforward solutions. Our patent attorneys obtain more than 3,700 U.S. patents each year, on average, while our trademark attorneys propel Harness IP to rank among the top IP law firms for registering U.S. trademarks year after year.
