Dentons, the world's largest law firm, was again ranked as the top patent prosecution firm on Juristat's 2018 list of the top 100 patent prosecution law firms. This is the second consecutive year Dentons has secured the number one spot. Juristat, which analyzes and reports on the US patent system, based the ranking on four key metrics: number of applications filed, allowance rate, average number of office actions before allowance, and average time to allowance. The Juristat ranking of the best patent firms is the only ranking of U.S. patent prosecution teams based on objective measurements of firm performance and considers both volume and performance.

Dentons' Intellectual Property and Technology practice consists of more than 100 lawyers and professionals, including numerous experienced electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, computer scientists, chemical engineers, PhDs and other technically trained professionals holding advanced degrees. Dentons' IP group has consistently received top rankings in leading trade publications, including IAM Patents 1000, Legal 500 and Chambers USA. In addition, the group was named an “IP Litigation Powerhouse” in the BTI Litigation Outlook 2018, which also included Dentons in its "Fearsome Five" in recognition of the litigators' intense approach and fiercely successful tactics. The San Francisco/Silicon Valley IP team received a Corporate LiveWire Global Award for IP litigation in 2016. Law360 lists Dentons as one of the nation's “Top 50 Litigation Powerhouse Firms."
