IP COUNSELING, LICENSING, AND TRANSACTIONS

We advise our clients on all types of intellectual property issues, from developing strategies for protecting our clients’ intellectual property to strategies for avoiding the IP of competitors.

Our services include,

• Providing advice on overall patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright protection and enforcement strategy, including filing trademark applications and closely coordinating with our clients’ patent attorneys,
• Preparing and negotiating licenses, assignments, non-disclosure, and other IP agreements,
• Developing IP and trade secrets policies,
• Developing and executing alternative enforcement strategies, including internet marketplace “take downs,”
• Advising on the sale and acquisition of IP,
• Performing due diligence.

We understand the intellectual property needs of businesses of all sizes, having represented clients from small start-ups to some of the largest and most aggressive IP owners in the world. 

We understand IP from our clients’ point of view. One of our partners has served as in-house IP counsel for one of the largest companies in the world.

Because we also represent clients in IP litigation (our lawyers have litigated more than 400 intellectual property cases in federal court), we anticipate the issues that arise in litigation, ensuring that our clients obtain the IP protection they need, that their IP is both broad and targeted, that they have agreements that will withstand the scrutiny of litigation, and that our clients are well-positioned in the event of disputes.
