IP Litigation & Disputes
From enforcement of patents to trademark infringement and from copyright infringement to trade secret theft, our intellectual property litigators assertively protect our clients’ IP rights. We represent clients in nearly every major industry, including consumer products, sports and entertainment, agriculture, software, genetic engineering, and medical technology. We help clients in disputes, both in the U.S. and internationally, to enforce their positions with agencies, such as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and private parties.
If a settlement negotiation makes good business sense, we can navigate the issues and position clients for favorable outcomes. When a claim or accusation cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, we take the fight to the appropriate venue, including arbitration forums as well as state and federal courts.
