For more than 40 years, Michael A. Cantor and Philmore H. Colburn II have been building one of Connecticut's far-ranging law firms, in every sense of that term. The 100-lawyer firm specializes in intellectual property, and is headquartered in Hartford. Competing against peer firms based in larger cities, it serves a national clientele, with offices in Atlanta, Detroit, Washington, D.C., and Houston.
At No. 7 in the Trib 20, and as the seventh most active patent firm in the U.S., measured by its annual patent filings, the firm has actually been expanding its market share during the economic downturn. Partner Michael Cantor explained some of the firms's latest developments with Senior Writer Thomas B. Scheffey.
