INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW & LITIGATION

Our attorneys assist clients in protecting their intellectual property rights through registration, licensing, and litigation.

Registration of Copyrights & Trademarks

We assist software developers, media companies, musicians, artists, and others with the registration of their copyrighted works with the U.S. Copyright Office. We also register our clients’ product names, trade names, logos, and taglines with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as trademarks and service marks. Registration of copyrights, trademarks and service marks enable our clients to fully enforce their rights through litigation in the federal courts.

Intellectual Property Licensing

We also protect our clients’ intellectual property rights by negotiating and documenting their licensing relationships, whether in the form of a true licensing agreement, or in conjunction with a product supply and distribution agreement, co-development agreement, software “click-wrap” agreement, or service agreements. Our goal is to ensure that our clients’ licensing relationships are certain, definite, and enforceable.

Intellectual Property Litigation

We provide a wide range of litigation services to our clients in the area of intellectual property. Our litigators are experienced in the prosecution and defense of claims of patent infringement, copyright infringement, trademark infringement and dilution, trade dress infringement, and trade secret misappropriation. We also protect our clients’ Internet domain name registrations through ICANN arbitrations.
