LOS ANGELES — Craig Gelfound, head of ArentFox Schiff LLP’s Intellectual Property practice on the west coast, has once again been recognized as a leader in his field by Chambers USA and Legal 500, both of which recognize individuals who are providing the most cutting edge and innovative advice to corporate counsel. Mr. Gelfound has also been recognized by IP Stars which is the leading resource for companies or individuals looking for experienced legal practitioners for contentious and non-contentious IP advice, and Super Lawyers, a listing that recognizes the top 5% of Southern California attorneys who exhibit exceptional legal performance and achievement. These honors come on the heels of Mr. Gelfound recently being recognized by the Daily Journal as one of the Top Intellectual Property Lawyers in California, marking his thirteenth consecutive year of this recognition.

“Craig continues to be a leader in his field and provides stellar work for his clients, so it comes as no surprise that Craig continues to be listed among the best in his field in intellectual property law by Chambers USA, Legal 500, IP Stars, and Super Lawyers” said Aaron H. Jacoby, Los Angeles Managing Partner. “ArentFox Schiff’s leading IP practice represents top companies on a global level, and it continues to grow and thrive in California under Craig's leadership.”

Mr. Gelfound has an extraordinary track record of monetizing intellectual property to maximize return on investment by procuring, managing, licensing, and enforcing domestic and global portfolios. He graduated with a JD, magna cum laude, from Southwestern University School of Law, where he currently serves as an adjunct member of the faculty teaching patent law. He received a BS in electrical engineering from San Diego State University. He brings considerable experience in telecommunications and technology to his practice, having designed signal processors for military radar applications when he worked for a major telecommunications company early in his career. He also served as project manager for one of the largest air traffic control radar contracts with the United States Air Force.
