OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA – November 1, 2011 – Dunlap Codding is pleased to announce that Barbara Krebs Yuill, Ph.D., has been named to the Oklahoma Rising Stars list as one of the top attorneys in Oklahoma for 2011.  She was also named to the list in 2010.  No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected to the list.  Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.  The annual selections are made using a rigorous multi-phased process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area.

Barb practices in the areas of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret law.  She counsels clients in all aspects of intellectual property including patent drafting and prosecution, preparation of patent infringement and patent validity opinions; trademark clearance and registration; license preparation and negotiation; and copyright infringement defense and negotiation.

Barb has prepared patent applications in the areas of nanoparticle manufacture, treatment and use; chemical processing; metallurgical and ceramic materials and manufacture; oil field chemicals and drilling methods; environmental remediation technologies; and mechanical devices for the medical, veterinary and sporting goods industries.

Prior to becoming a patent attorney, Barb was employed by Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) as a research engineer where she was co-inventor of U.S. Patent No. 4,579,589 “Process For The Recovery Of Precious Metals From A Roaster Calcine Leach Residue”; U.S. Patent No. 4,752,332 “Treating Manganese Containing Ores With A Metal Sulfide”; U.S. Patent No. 4,740,243 “Metal Value Recovery From Metal Sulfide Containing Ores”; and Canadian Patent No. 1,258,181 “Process For Producing Enriched Mineral Ore Concentrates.”

Dunlap Codding P.C. is an Oklahoma City-based law firm serving regional, national and international clients.  Established in 1957 as Oklahoma’s original intellectual property firm, Dunlap Codding remains the state’s largest and most versatile IP boutique.  Dunlap Codding represents a substantial number of sophisticated client companies, and for the past 50 years has obtained more patents, trademarks and copyrights than any other firm in the region.

DC On Film Row

About DC on Film Row

DC on Film Row is a free event space open to everyone in our community.

We like to say that the space is a “home for creatives and innovators, home builders and the homeless, celebrators and the celebrated” so people understand that we are inclusive and want everyone from throughout our community using our space.

Our goal is to celebrate the incredible diversity of creativity, innovation, and passion within Oklahoma City and to provide a venue—free of charge—to those groups and individuals working to bind us all together and make our home a cooler and better place. No strings attached—no extensive rules to follow. We simply ask that all of our neighbors be honored and that all viewpoints be respected. Our criteria for use is simple: If the event, group, or meeting is something which strengthens our community and brings us all together, the space is available for use.

The space has hosted everything from charitable fundraisers to an underground nightclub party to celebrate Canterbury Choral Society’s 45th anniversary season. We host dinners for the OKC homeless population most Monday evenings where upwards of 250 people are served—we provide the space and soft drinks and a local church provides the food. We’ve hosted university planning retreats and monthly local rock concerts.

Every Wednesday, we open up the courtyard for lunch, invite a local food truck to set up outside our gates, and welcome our downtown neighbors into the space for a bit of socialization.

Our never-ending soda fountain seems to be the biggest hit with some of our neighbors while others spend time playing pool or simply chatting about what is happening on the weekend.

For October we turn the space into a haunted house and invite the neighborhood children to come out and trick-or-treat.

Got an idea for how to use the space? Just ask us – we’re almost certain to say yes!

The Space for Ideas.

Protecting all things creative

Who you are.

Who we are.

What we do.

What’s new.
