McCoy and Russell began practicing together in their predecessor firm, Alleman Hall McCoy Russell & Tuttle (ahmrt.com) in 2005. McCoy Russell had been operating out of our location in downtown Portland, expanding and growing over that time. Currently, our firm operates in the heart of the Pearl District, in the former American Chicle Building.

The firm was started based on a vision from the founding partners who met and trained at a traditional IP firm. Based on their experience and their own clients, the founding partners decided there was value and interest in creating a client-driven, team-based prosecution firm.

We have continued to hone our team-based prosecution strategy and look forward to our future opportunities and technological advancements as pertaining to patent and trademark application processes.
