Kicking Off 2026 at MVSJanuary 8, 2026

As we turn the page to a new year, all of us at McKee, Voorhees & Sease (MVS) want to start with a simple message: Thank You. Your trust in our team, whether we’ve worked together for decades or are just getting started, means everything to us. We know you have options, and we are committed to earning and maintaining that trust every day by delivering practical, business‑minded IP counsel and staying ahead of the changes that matter to you.

In 2026, our focus is unchanged and crystal clear: help clients achieve their goals and prosper. That means proactive guidance on patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing, litigation, and regulatory matters that is grounded in your strategy, not just the rules, regulations, and cases. We will continue to invest in the relationships and industry knowledge that let us spot issues early, streamline decisions, and protect what you’re building.

We’re also grateful for the broader community that supports our work—those who refer us, collaborate with us, and champion innovation across Iowa and beyond. You help us do our best work, and we do not take that support lightly.

If you’ve visited our office or joined a call, you know IP is our favorite topic (yes, even more than Hawkeyes vs. Cyclones). We nerd out on IP rule changes, cases, and strategy considerations, because it helps you move faster and with confidence, and we’ll keep that energy going all year long.

Here’s to a year of smart protection, bold ideas, and steady execution. From everyone at MVS: welcome to 2026, we’re ready when you are.
