Our IP lawyers focus on leveraging client’s intellectual property to help them achieve success in the marketplace. Our IP Attorney provides counsel on the most efficacious methods of establishing and developing IP holdings and protecting IP rights so clients can realize the most value from those assets. From patents to trademarks and copyrights to licensing and technology transfers to IP audits and IP asset due diligence, our partner attorneys offer clients portfolio management and strategic advice on obtaining and protecting valuable intellectual property.

The cornerstone of our practice involves the development and protection of intellectual property rights by filing foreign patent, trademark, and copyright applications no matter where you are located. This also includes the pursuit and defense in federal and state court of business, entertainment, copyright, trade dress and trademark infringement claims and litigation in related areas such as theft of trade secrets, false advertising, non-competition agreements, deceptive and unfair trade practices, internet law, cybersquatting, domain name disputes (ICANN), TTAB, and breach of licensing agreements.
