Dublin, March 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "2018 Intellectual Property Litigation Hourly Rate Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
IP matters especially Patent litigation, representing two-thirds of all IP litigation, continue to grow annually and will continue to do so in 2018 by an estimated 5% over 2017 matters. Rates will also increase overall but with some discounting (10% or more).
The Research Team identifies hourly rates that are publicly disclosed. About 2,000 hourly rates per week of Attorneys and Support Staff for over 1,200 Law Firms globally are added to the database. Further research is required to connect the dots by adding detailed Attorney Profile information and linking the legal work performed to specific Clients and Client Industries.
Through this process we are able to provide actionable data to users - Law Firms and Corporate Counsel - of the Attorney Hourly Rates and our Analytical Reports, including this one, to make important monetary decisions in terms of legal services offered and purchased.
In the event that this research has no rates for a given field (Year or Position), an algorithm is used to estimate a rate or rates. In Sections 5 and 6, Engagement Summaries by Client and Law Firm, respectively, those averages are Blended (Total Fees divided by Total Hours for all Timekeepers).
Senior Partners are considered to be ones with 25+ years of experience since graduating from Law School, Partners with 24 years or less experience and Senior Associates with 5 years or more experience.
