Intellectual property litigation and dispute resolution

Overview

Intellectual property rights do not exist in a vacuum. To have real value, they must be enforced. Often, enforcement can be achieved through licensing and other non-adversarial means. But, enforcement sometimes requires litigation. For this reason, we are experienced trial attorneys. 

We aggressively prepare and pursue intellectual property claims in litigation, and zealously defend our clients against claims by competitors, trolls, and others. Our focus is on your ultimate goals, so litigation services often include high-level cost/benefit analysis and critical risk assessment and mitigation.

We have successfully represented our clients in a variety of proceedings in forums throughout the U.S, handling: 

• Appeals
• Trials 
• Hearings
• Arbitrations 
• Mediations
• Administrative proceedings 

We have experience working before state and federal courts and judicial bodies around the country, including:

• U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and other U.S. Appeal Courts
• U.S. District Courts all over the country
• Various state trial and appellate courts
