"Dario Machleidt and Kate Geyer in the Seattle office are fantastic.  They are responsive and knowledgeable.  They work cases with trial in mind and are great on their feet."

"What I value most about Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton’s IP litigation team is their ability to remove complexity and friction from high stakes litigation while remaining highly collaborative and client focused. During [a landmark] matter, they took full ownership of legal strategy and execution, yet consistently ensured my perspective was heard and meaningfully reflected in the work product and courtroom approach. That balance of leadership and listening is rare."

"The team combines deep legal knowledge and serious courtroom capability with a genuinely human approach. They are kind, thoughtful, and fully engaged, while staying approachable and easy to work with under pressure. The relationship never felt transactional. It was built on mutual respect, responsiveness, and a shared commitment to hard work and results."

"From a practical standpoint, they also operate with real efficiency and integrity. Time and budget are consistently directed toward actionable legal work that advances the matter, rather than unnecessary process or formality. Compared to other firms, their focus on substance over style delivers tangible value and strong outcomes, and they consistently translate legal strategy into real world results."

"Their patent filing and prosecution team is exceptionally organized, timely, and consistent. Roger D. Wylie coordinated our patent work and was instrumental in ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and predictable execution across a complex, long-term portfolio."

"I particularly value the clarity and realism of their cost estimates and the discipline of their project management. Reexaminations and post-grant proceedings were handled in a highly structured way, with clear communication and strong follow-through. The work product is high quality, and the administration side is dependable, which reduces internal burden and prevents costly delays."

"Their advisory support is practical, business-minded, and grounded in real risk assessment rather than theoretical legal positioning. They provide clear guidance on what matters most, what to prioritize, and what the most efficient path is—especially when decisions need to be made quickly."

"They are also strong at translating legal strategy into operational reality, whether that is protecting brand identity, managing portfolio direction, or aligning IP decisions with commercial goals. The advice feels tailored and actionable, not generic."
