HOUSTON – The internationally prestigious IAM World’s Leading Patent Professionals once again has named AZA among the top patent trial firms in Texas and highly ranked two of the firm’s partners.

The international guide called AZA “a first stop for important IP litigation matters.” It said the firm is distinguished by remarkable trial victories, adding, “Celebrated for their strategic counsel and technical prowess, they are recognized as ‘formidable opponents, particularly in cases involving complex technologies.”’

The guide states AZA is a team of “aggressive trial lawyers, who are practical in their approach and will tailor their services to clients’ particular needs.”

The IAM Patent 1,000 named Jason McManis, the head of AZA’s intellectual property group, and Todd Mensing among the best patent litigators in Texas. The guide stated:

  • Head of IP Jason McManis earns accolades as being “very technically competent in the field of patent infringement matters. McManis, showcasing his expertise, serves as lead counsel representing LoganTree LP in multi-state patent infringement suits and proceedings.”
  • “Todd Mensing is highly skilled in intellectual property litigation matters, including patent infringement cases and matters involving the misappropriation of confidential information. He and his firm are a go-to resource for these types of cases. Todd is practical when providing advice and quickly assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a case. He is a formidable advocate.”
