About Cochran Freund & Young LLC

Our Story

Colorado’s Trusted Intellectual Property Attorneys

Cochran Freund & Young LLC was founded in Colorado on March 1, 2004, when three attorneys joined forces around a single conviction: that the best intellectual property counsel comes from genuinely understanding a client’s technology, not just the law that protects it. Together they brought more than a century of combined experience in IP practice, and they built the firm to put that experience to work for the inventors, scientists, and companies advancing some of today’s most technical fields. More than two decades later, that founding principle still guides everything we do.
