Dear Clients, Colleagues, and Friends,

Moving into 2023, we are pleased to announce that WLO has now grown to a total of 22 employees and serves over 750 clients worldwide. This is growth that we truly could not have imagined several years ago, when we first opened our doors with just 3 employees. This sustained growth over time is proof enough to us that we are doing it right, and that our clients appreciate all our efforts in protecting their valuable intellectual property.

As many of you know, WLO has also evolved into a robust “virtual” practice over the past few years. In fact, we now have virtual offices throughout the United States, with personnel located in Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, and Hawaii. While operating in this virtual working environment daily, our attorneys and staff have remained dedicated to making our clients successful no matter where they are located. The entire WLO team is passionate about providing high quality services at rates affordable to both entrepreneurs and established businesses alike. We couldn’t be more proud of the team of professionals we have assembled at WLO, and the excellent work they do for our clients every day.

If you have any questions at all about patents, trademarks or copyrights, do not hesitate to contact WLO by any of the following methods:

  • Via telephone at either (419) 408-5500 (Ohio Office) or (248) 579-2197 (Michigan Office);

As always, WLO does not charge for initial consultations. We would be pleased to speak with you about strategies for protecting your intellectual property at your convenience.
