John Cyril Malloy, III

Malloy & Malloy, P.L. is an intellectual property law boutique that describes itself as Florida's oldest firm of its kind, and it has been named IP Litigation Law Firm of the Year in Florida at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. John Cyril Malloy III serves as managing partner, leading a practice that has been dedicated to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights for more than six decades. The award recognises the firm's strength in the contentious side of IP work, where disputes over patents, trademarks and copyrights are fought and resolved.

The firm traces its origins to 1959 and represents a continuous family tradition in intellectual property law, having been founded by John Cyril Malloy and carried forward across successive generations. It was established on the conviction that Florida would become a crossroads for international commerce, with intellectual property central to the state's economy. That founding vision has shaped a practice that remains, in its own words, entirely focused on patents, trademarks, copyrights, international IP, licensing, franchising and IP litigation.

Malloy & Malloy operates from five locations across Florida, with its headquarters in Miami and further offices in Boca Raton, Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. This statewide presence allows the firm to serve innovators and brand owners throughout Florida while also acting for domestic and international clients, including those across Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. The firm's position in Miami, a long-standing gateway between the United States and Latin American markets, reinforces its cross-border capability.

The firm's litigation strength is underpinned by notable professional credentials. Its partners are Board Certified by the Florida Bar in Intellectual Property Law, and the practice includes registered patent attorneys and trademark portfolio counsel. Malloy & Malloy also holds an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest available mark for legal ability and ethical standards. Together these distinctions signal a depth of specialist expertise well suited to the technical and procedural demands of IP disputes.

IP litigation requires a firm to move fluently between complex technical subject matter and the strategic realities of the courtroom. Patent infringement claims turn on detailed questions of technology and claim construction; trademark and copyright disputes engage issues of branding, consumer perception and creative ownership. A boutique that concentrates exclusively on intellectual property is well placed to handle these matters, bringing both the scientific literacy and the litigation experience that such cases demand, and coordinating enforcement across multiple jurisdictions where required.

Under the leadership of managing partner John Cyril Malloy III, the firm combines a long institutional heritage with a sharply focused modern practice, offering clients continuity, specialist depth and a statewide platform. Its recognition as IP Litigation Law Firm of the Year in Florida at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms the reputation Malloy & Malloy has built over more than sixty years as a dedicated protector of the innovations, brands and creative works on which its clients' businesses depend.
