 In 2007, John Zarian, Peter Midgley and Rex Johnson made a strategic decision to create the best value proposition for their clients–and launched Zarian Midgley & Johnson, PLLC, a Boise-based firm specializing in intellectual property matters and litigation.

“Our goal is to provide big-firm quality and expertise with small-firm efficiency,” says John Zarian, who is included in the 2008 Mountain States Super Lawyers® list and had been included in the 2006 Southern California Super Lawyers list. “Our experience, size and location allow us to offer clients high-quality legal work with great service and value.”

“In today’s legal and business environment, enhancing value necessarily requires the effective acquisition, maintenance and enforcement of intellectual property rights,” says Peter Midgley, who is a registered patent attorney and an electrical engineer. “We can provide these services to clients effectively on a local, regional and national basis.”

Zarian Midgley takes pride in the diverse technical backgrounds of its attorneys, who hold degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering, genetics, chemistry, molecular and cellular biology, mechanical engineering and manufacturing engineering. Over the years, the firm’s lawyers have handled patent prosecution and patent litigation matters in a wide range of technology areas, including semiconductors, electronic devices, biomedical devices, visual display products and complex mechanical systems.

Collectively, Zarian Midgley lawyers have more than 50 years’ experience handling complex legal matters in large commercial centers such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and Washington, D.C., as well as Boise and Salt Lake City. Their experience includes prior affiliations with such well-known firms as Howrey, Perkins Coie, Finnegan Henderson, Knobbe Martens, Sonnenschein, LeBoeuf Lamb and Stoel Rives.

“We’ve built our reputations doing high-quality work, but the passion for our practice comes from the strong personal commitment we make to our clients and their success,” says Zarian. “Ultimately, the foundation for everything we do is a highly client-oriented approach.”

Zarian Midgley’s practice areas include patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, complex business litigation, trials and appeals, technology licensing, intellectual property strategic counseling and intellectual property portfolio management.
