What Getz Balich Llc does

Getz Balich LLC is a privately held, full-service intellectual property law firm organized as a Connecticut LLC and headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut. The firm provides patent preparation and prosecution (U.S. and PCT), patent validity and infringement opinions, trademark preparation and prosecution, trademark infringement and opposition work, IP litigation counsel, alternative dispute resolution (mediiation and arbitration), transactional matters (licensing, NDAs, technology development agreements), IP due diligence for M&A, comprehensive IP portfolio management, and UDRP domain name dispute representation. The firm serves large corporations, academic institutions, and individual inventors across diverse technology sectors including medical devices, aerospace, robotics, composite materials, alternative energy, oil and gas, and computer software. Its differentiator is multidisciplinary technical expertise: seven attorneys hold engineering or scientific degrees in mechanical, nuclear, civil engineering, and chemistry, with prior in-house IP experience at major corporates including United Technologies Corporation (Pratt & Whitney, Otis Elevator), Samsung Semiconductor, Energizer, and Edgewell Personal Care. Two IP paralegals support docketing and prosecution workflows.

The firm generates revenue through traditional professional services billing — hourly rates and fixed fees for patent and trademark prosecution, opinions, litigation support, transactional work, and ADR. Pricing is quote-based and matter-specific, with no public pricing or subscription model. Go-to-market is reputation-driven, relying on attorney direct relationships, referrals, professional bar association involvement (Boston Bar Association, Boston Patent Law Association, American Intellectual Property Law Association, Connecticut Intellectual Property Law Association), and external rankings. In 2025 the firm was ranked first among midsized firms in the Patent Bots Patent Quality Rankings and named a Top Patent Firm by Juristat. Attorney Tim Johnson served as co-lead counsel in Post University Inc. v. Learneo Inc., securing a $75 million jury verdict for DMCA violations in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. Global IP protection is delivered through established long-term relationships with foreign patent and trademark counsel rather than through owned international offices. The firm has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiary entities.
