Intellectual Property
Our Intellectual Property practice group concentrates on all aspects of patent, trademark and copyright matters across numerous industries. Our expertise includes preparing trademark, patent, and copyright applications, negotiating intellectual property rights licenses and agreements, and managing clients’ global IP portfolios.
We handle all forms of intellectual property dispute resolution, and our professionals have widespread experience in trial and appellate courts in California and around the country. This includes, among many other matters:
- Copyright, trademark, and patent litigation implicating national brands,
- Digital technology,
- The Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
- Trade dress, trade secrets, and unfair competition,
- Myriad forms of false advertising and royalty disputes.
Our clientele reflects the depth of the firm’s practice, and includes institutions and individuals ranging from record companies to apparel manufacturers. Regardless of the nature of our client, our emphasis remains the same – protecting the valuable assets that embody intellectual property in all its forms. We attempt to shelter our clients from expensive litigation through early mediation and neutral evaluation.
Where litigation is unavoidable, we tackle the process with transparency concerning cost and risk. We provide clients with budgeting, forecasting, and evaluations identifying the potential cost of litigation balanced against the risks as well as the potential upside for a client. We ensure that our clients are fully informed of all aspects of a litigation, and with our counsel, are able to make sound business decisions to protect their assets.
