Reinhold Cohn and Partners

What Reinhold Cohn and Partners does

Reinhold Cohn and Partners is the IP-attorney operating arm of the Reinhold Cohn Group (RCG), Israel's leading, largest, and earliest-established intellectual property firm, founded on May 1, 1934 by Dr. Reinhold Cohn. The Group operates a two-arm structure: Reinhold Cohn & Partners handles IP procurement (patent drafting, prosecution, trademark and design registration, renewals, and the proprietary IPBI analytics platform), while the affiliated Gilat, Bareket & Co. provides IP litigation, transactions, mediation, arbitration, and enforcement. The firm is founder-owned under third-generation Cohn family leadership and serves multinational corporations, Israeli startups and inventors, NASDAQ-listed public companies, academic and research institutions (including hospitals), VCs and institutional investors, Israeli government agencies, and world-renowned brand owners across verticals that include hi-tech (AI/ML, generative AI, cybersecurity, fintech, blockchain, big data, cloud, semiconductors), life sciences, physics, electro-optics, mechanics and designs, cannabis, and quantum.

The firm employs 200+ staff with 50+ patent attorneys and attorneys at law, organized into seven practices (Hi-Tech, Life Sciences & Chemistry, Physics, Technology Mechanics & Designs, Trademarks, Legal, Foreign Clients + Renewals + US Desk), operating from a Tel Aviv headquarters and a Jerusalem regional office, with a US Desk providing direct USPTO capability and partner-level coverage of China and European jurisdictions. Its proprietary IPBI (IP-Based Business Intelligence) platform transforms global patent and innovation data into competitor analysis, technology-watch, white-space, IP-strategy-map, and patent-monetization intelligence sold on an engagement/subscription basis; complementary technology includes an Online Brand Protection service delivered through a partnership with Wiser Market and a three-stage Open Source Software Risk Management service.

Revenue is generated through six streams: fee-based IP consulting and patent prosecution (project-based with retainer components), IP litigation and legal services via Gilat, Bareket & Co., trademark and design portfolio services, recurring IP renewals management, IPBI subscriptions, and transaction-based IP commercialization and licensing brokering. Distribution is exclusively direct: enterprise engagement through Tel Aviv and Jerusalem offices, supported by an international associate-counsel network for cross-border litigation. The firm generates demand through thought-leadership content and sustained top-tier rankings across Chambers & Partners, IAM Patent 1000, Legal 500, IP Stars (MIP), WTR 1000, IAM 300, Who's Who Legal, WIPR Leaders, and Lexology Client Choice. The firm has no disclosed parent company, external investors, public listing, or funding rounds.
