A boutique firm that can provide the services of experienced trademark attorneys, legal assistants and paralegals, Dineff Trademark Law Limited is considered by its colleagues to be one of the best trademark law firms in the Midwest. Having been ranked fifth in the central region of the United States by the international publication, Managing Intellectual Property, for non-patent intellectual property firms, the firm is flexible, responsive and able to quickly adapt to clients' needs. Many national and multinational trademark owners frequently rely upon Dineff Trademark Law to advise them in domestic and international trademark matters. Based upon their requirements, Dineff Trademark Law provides support services to experienced trademark attorneys, substantive advice to paralegals or acts as the corporate in-house trademark department. In today's environment, staffing has become a substantial problem in trademark departments. Downsizing has become a way of life for many companies and their legal departments but it does not necessarily mean the workload has diminished. As the level of business activity expands and contracts, Dineff Trademark Law adjusts to provide the level of assistance necessary to satisfy current needs. The firm achieves this by approaching all issues as a team. At Dineff Trademark Law, the entire multi-lingual, multi-cultural staff works together to serve clients. Foreign correspondence is frequently dispatched in local languages to facilitate better understanding and foster cooperation. The value-added services are assigned to attorneys, legal assistants and paralegals according to the level of sophistication of the service ; and, billing is adjusted accordingly. As members of the staff are or have been adjunct professors or teach intellectual property out of the office, new staff members are trained internally and attend courses at The John Marshall Law School, at DePaul University and through the International Trademark Association. Dineff Trademark Law benefits from all the advantages of a sizeable trademark practice while maintaining the personal contact that makes it unique. The diverse client base adds to its perspective. As trademark services are provided on a day to day basis, clients rely on the firm's advice when there is the option of dealing directly with foreign counsel. The facts that those at Dineff Trademark Law are creative, objective and sensible problem solvers assist in dealings with both clients and foreign counsels. The firm maintains close relationships with the latter by visiting them and reviewing their services, as provided, regularly. Additionally, with the constant thought of cost effectiveness, Dineff Trademark Law offers to review the budgets of clients to assist in the control of costs. How can the firm help control costs? First and foremost, the majority of the services rendered are subject to transaction billing. A simple, detailed service tariff that allows clients to easily determine and track the cost of any trademark matter. As the staff is fairly compensated by salary based on efficiency ; no one is required to have billable hours. In this way, employee incentives are not at odds with the client's goals. Even substantive matters are billed on a transaction fee basis. When additional legal services are necessary, those hourly fees are set out in the tariff and are competitive in the industry. The firm welcomes relationship audits to review billing practices, assignment of work within the firm's staff, quality of work product and responsiveness. Estimates can be provided before performing any task and billing reports are available at any time during the fiscal year upon request. Having been the first trademark firm to design and market a trademark management system, Dineff Trademark Law is a leader in the field of office computerization. The integrated trademark management system currently in use in the office accomplishes many administrative tasks and reduces costly man
