BOSTON, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fish & Richardson has been named a 2012 "Go-To Intellectual Property Law Firm" for the top Fortune 500 companies.  According to the April issue of Corporate Counsel magazine, this "noteworthy achievement" is an honor that puts Fish "in an elite group that delivers exceptional work for the Fortune 500."  Fish was named a "Go-To IP Law Firm" by nine Fortune 500 companies including Allergan, Inc., Google, Inc., and Target Corporation.
