     Brooks Kushman P.C. recently received a NameProtect Trademark Insider® Award as the leading trademark law firm in Detroit. The Trademark Insider Awards – a set of annual awards designed to formally recognize leading trademark firms and individual attorneys in the United States – are determined by calculating the number of times an individual law firm / attorney is listed in the correspondent field of all United States Patent and Trademark Office applications submitted in 2006.

     Also, in NameProtect`s 2006 Annual Edition of Trademark Insider, a quarterly publication for the trademark industry that provides insight into overall trademark filing activity, Brooks Kushman earned three additional accolades. Based on the volume of trademarks filed, Brooks Kushman was ranked the 110th law firm on the Annual Top 200 Trademark Firm listing for 2006 and the 62nd law firm on the Top 100 Trademark Law Firms listing for the fourth quarter 2006. Additionally, firm attorney Anessa Owen Kramer was ranked 38th on the list of Top 50 Trademark Attorneys for the fourth quarter 2006, filing 49 trademark applications in that time period.
