Intellectual Property
We represent individual inventors, start-up companies, and established businesses, and help them to identify and protect intellectual property assets. We prepare and prosecute patent applications, prosecute and maintain trademarks, prepare copyright registrations, and provide advice on the protection of trade secrets. We also assist clients with the acquisition and exploitation of intellectual property, such as licensing and the purchase of intellectual property, including transactions involving the acquisition of intellectual property through foreclosures and bankruptcy proceedings. We assure that intellectual property rights are correctly secured and transferred in financings, mergers and acquisitions.
We are experienced in litigating a wide variety of intellectual property actions, including false labeling and advertising, privacy and publicity rights, unfair trade practices, patent, trademark and copyright infringement actions for both plaintiffs and defendants, in the courts and before the U.S. International Trade Commission. We advise clients about insurance coverage for intellectual property infringement and insurance coverage disputes. Working as a team, we handle these technically complicated matters with efficiency and speed.
