Patent Litigation
We represent clients in patent infringement litigation in courts worldwide and before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). We also represent both patent holders and challengers in Inter-Partes Review (IPR) proceedings before the U.S. Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) in conjunction with litigation or to secure the freedom to operate. We also handle appeals to the Federal Circuit, and help formulate and execute patent license programs.
Patent Trial & Appeal Board
We have handled well over fifty PTAB AIA proceedings on behalf of petitioners and patent owners, including Inter Partes Reviews (IPR) and Covered Business Method Reviews (CBM). The strength of our practice lies in our courtroom experience coupled with the strong science and technology backgrounds of our lawyers. Our attorneys hold advanced degrees in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, molecular biology, chemical engineering, and biochemistry.
Trade Secret Litigation
We specialize in trade secret enforcement and defense, including cease-and-desist orders, take-down notices, restraining orders, litigation, and arbitration. We can also help protect your critical know-how by implementing procedural and physical safeguards, NDA execution / auditing, and robust enforcement.
Trademark Litigation
We have a proven track record of protecting companies from infringement or dilution of their trademarks and brands in complex, high-stakes litigation. We also help clients develop successful brand protection programs, including policies regarding the use, licensing, and enforcement of trademarks and branding.
Copyright Litigation
We help creators, companies, and organizations understand the boundaries of eligibility and fair use, and assert and defend copyright claims in courts around the country. We also design and implement enforcement programs for copyright owners, and negotiate copyright licenses for creators and consumers alike.
