Intellectual Property

Our patent attorneys are technical experts, holding advanced degrees in areas ranging from life sciences to materials to software. Their specialized knowledge is the core of our patent practice. Our patent team achieves patent protection worldwide, assesses patentability and freedom to operate, and crafts filing and licensing strategies to maximize return on patent portfolios.

Our IP litigators are a force in the courtroom. They handle and win cases involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, domain names, licensing, and advertising. They bring their broad experience to win at trial—at the federal, state, and appellate level, and before the USPTO and TTAB—or through successful settlement. When it comes to strategic domestic and international trademark portfolio management, we take a long view—solving today’s problems while ensuring that clients continue to get the most from their IP assets. We clear and register marks worldwide, create enforcement strategies, and enforce and defend trademark rights, whether in federal court or before trademark tribunals.

We have significant experience in key industries, including life sciences, consumer products, retail, software, medical, chemical, gaming, food and beverage, and arts and entertainment. Our intellectual property attorneys
