Searching for a intellectual property attorney in Fresno? Counsel for what you invent, write, and brand. This page indexes Fresno's intellectual property coverage from the State Bar of California's official roll, with identity-verification markers where available.
Before comparing counsel, note the clock. Under 17 U.S.C. § 507(b), the governing period is three years for copyright claims; trade secret claims run three years (Cal. Civ. Code § 3426.6). Patent damages reach back six years (35 U.S.C. § 286). Trademark claims under the Lanham Act borrow analogous state periods and are shaped by laches.

31 active attorneys with an address of record in Fresno list intellectual property among their practice areas on the registry, out of 1,790 active attorneys whose address of record is in Fresno.
By count, the practice areas most often listed by Fresno attorneys are criminal defense (339), litigation (257), business law (253), employment (214) and real estate (179). A count of listings, not a measure of skill.
None of the 1,790 has yet claimed and verified their record here; every listing is the official record as published.
For 74 of the 1,790 active attorneys in Fresno, the registry holds a firm website published in a language other than English; by count, Spanish (64), Persian (14), Punjabi (9) and Russian (5). That describes the website, not the attorney's own ability; an attorney's profile says when they have confirmed a language themselves.
Reading the roster in Fresno. Match the attorney to the asset: trademark clearance and prosecution, copyright licensing, trade-secret protection programs, and patent work are distinct practices, and patent prosecution requires USPTO registration. California's technology corridors mean deep benches in Santa Clara, San Francisco, and Los Angeles counties, but registration and enforcement practice is federal and can be handled statewide. Ask about flat-fee filings, search strategy before adoption of a mark, and enforcement philosophy.
