Houston Intellectual Property Firm Heim, Payne & Chorush Earns Honors
Michael Heim, founder of the Houston-based boutique Heim, Payne & Chorush, has been named Intellectual Property Lawyer of the Year for his work in patent litigation. This recognition follows a string of recent courtroom successes, including a $37.5 million award preserved by the firm in a federal appellate court.
These accolades follow a significant victory in June, when a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a $37.5 million jury verdict the firm secured against a major wireless technology provider. Beyond appellate work, the boutique remains a top performer in inter partes review proceedings before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board. By integrating technical and scientific backgrounds into their legal strategy, the firm continues to represent a diverse client base ranging from global energy corporations to independent entrepreneurs.
