Until recently, intellectual property attorneys in Florida who wanted to apply for board certification had to choose business litigation, of which IP is a sub-specialty. The Florida Supreme Court has now approved amending Bar rules to add IP as a specialty. Approval took 18 months because lawyers in different types of IP practice -- trademark, patents and copyright -- each wanted their own board certification. The ultimate compromise folded all types of IP practice into one specialty area.

Tampa intellectual property attorney Stefan Stein first applied to the Florida Bar for specialty certification in the late 1990s.
He would have preferred an intellectual property certification. But no such certification existed. So he instead applied for board certification in business litigation, of which IP is a sub-specialty.
