BUSINESS DEPARTMENT   |   Intellectual Property

In today’s economy, electronic records and communications are the primary if not sole manner by which businesses and individuals conduct business. Intellectual property in many cases is a person or company’s most highly valued category of assets. Key technologies, ideas and works of authorship are often created, transferred or misappropriated with a single mouse click. The steps a person takes to develop, protect and enforce intellectual property rights often will determine whether and how a business or professional endeavor will succeed.

Attorneys in the Intellectual Property Practice Area work closely with clients to develop, protect and maximize the value of their intellectual property assets (i.e., trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and patents). The firm’s comprehensive trademark counseling and portfolio management services include brand development counsel, marketplace and government database monitoring services to identify acts of infringement, due diligence analysis for business transactions and trademark dispute resolution and litigation. The Intellectual Property Practice Area attorneys also provide comprehensive audits of intellectual property assets to validate the ownership of key interests, register or renew rights as appropriate and identify any evidence of intellectual property infringement. In addition, these attorneys routinely represent companies of various sizes and industries in drafting software and trademark license agreements, intellectual property asset transfer agreements, trade secret protection agreements, dispute settlement agreements and other contracts to protect domestic and international business intellectual property interests.
