What Maschoff Brennan does

Maschoff Brennan is a full-service intellectual property law firm headquartered in Park City, Utah, founded in 2011 by Eric L. Maschoff and Sterling A. Brennan. The firm operates as Maschoff Brennan Gilmore Israelsen & Mauriel LLP, a Utah-registered limited liability partnership, and employs over 50 attorneys across offices in Park City, Salt Lake City, Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. In 2024, the firm merged with Mauriel Kapouytian Woods LLP (MKW), adding East Coast capacity and Michael Mauriel as co-chair of patent prosecution. The firm does not operate a technology platform; its core offering is professional legal services spanning patent prosecution and litigation, trademark registration and disputes, copyright protection, trade secret enforcement, ITC Section 337 proceedings, PTAB post-grant proceedings, Federal Circuit appellate work, international arbitration, data privacy counseling, antitrust, corporate transactions, technology licensing, and product liability defense.

The firm's go-to-market relies on professional reputation, third-party analyst recognition (Chambers USA, IAM Patent 1000, Best Lawyers, Mountain States Super Lawyers, LexDana/Patexia), attorney thought leadership in publications and conferences, adjunct law school teaching, and partner-led direct enterprise engagement. Revenue is generated primarily through hourly billing for legal services, with some flat-fee arrangements for standardized work; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The client base is concentrated in Fortune 100 companies and large international corporations, with named engagements spanning Google, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Philips Electronics, Bloomberg, and Nokia, alongside research universities with technology transfer needs and individual inventors. Differentiators include attorneys holding advanced scientific and engineering degrees (Ph.D., M.S., B.S.) enabling technical analysis of complex subject matter, decades of USPTO practice, and international service capacity for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean-speaking clients.

The firm is privately held with equity owned by named partners; there is no external venture or private equity ownership and no public listing. Awards, customer logos, and the 2024 MKW merger are the most concrete operational signals; revenue, headcount progression, and detailed financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
