Comprehensive Intellectual Property Services with a Global Reach

We offer a full spectrum of intellectual property services to clients across the United States and internationally, including:

– Patent Preparation, Prosecution & Protection
We help innovators worldwide secure and safeguard their inventions. Our patent attorneys are highly skilled in U.S. patent practice and highly knowledgeable in international patent systems, in part because of our vast and longstanding relationships with proven international patent counsel. We guide clients through drafting, filing, examination, office actions and appeals, and cross-border patent strategies to ensure their innovations remain protected domestically and internationally. Our value to clients includes our skilled patent opinion work, including freedom to operate and patentability opinions, due diligence investigations, and licensing of patented technology and related agreement work.

– Trademark & Trade Dress Protection
Our firm assists businesses in clearing, securing, enforcing, and managing trademarks and trade dress rights worldwide. We also review and audit clients’ marketing strategies to ensure they align with and strengthen their trademarks.  From initial brand development to global trademark registrations to licensing and enforcement strategies in numerous international markets, we ensure that brand identities remain distinct, protected, and legally enforceable in a competitive, interconnected world.

– Copyright & Advertising Law
We provide assistance with U.S. copyright matters involving all forms of creative content, including software, music, literature, and art.  Our services include developing and executing copyright protection and registration strategies, enforcement, litigation, licensing, due diligence, and rights management in all industries.  In addition to protecting, enforcing, and monetizing creative content and brands, our attorneys also assist clients with advertising issues generally, including legal review of ad campaigns, contests, sweepstakes, talent, and vendor contracts, and both asserting and defending against claims of false advertising.

– Trade Secret Management & Enforcement
Our firm advises businesses on safeguarding proprietary information and trade secrets worldwide. We develop customized global legal strategies to protect sensitive business assets and ensure compliance with US and international trade secret laws and enforcement mechanisms.

– Litigation

We have extensive litigation experience, including successfully protecting, enforcing, and defending patents, trademarks, copyrights, contracts, trade secrets, and license agreements in the US and internationally. Our attorneys have a proven track record in US federal and state courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and internationally in foreign courts and jurisdictions.  We help clients navigate the full spectrum of litigation, identifying potential pitfalls and leveraging strategic planning to enforce and defend their rights through court proceedings, arbitration, and mediation.
