Intellectual Property
With over 30 years of experience in Intellectual Property, our team has the expertise to navigate the quickly evolving IP landscape and provide for our clients’ diverse needs. Our IP team has handled nearly all aspects of the practice, including all matters of patent and trademark filings, copyrights, trade secrets, and related IP litigation in all of the functional IP areas. In addition to the traditional areas of IP, our attorneys also have experience in the carry-over of IP principles as they may apply to other areas of law including privacy and First Amendment rights.
Our attorneys have experience not only in the U.S., but internationally in the protection of worldwide IP rights. Our attorneys regularly advise clients on strategies for international protection through international treaties such as the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the Madrid Protocol. Our portfolio of clients ranges from individuals and small businesses to globally recognized brands and multinational firms.
For emerging companies, a strong IP strategy can be crucial to future success. We partner with start-up companies and entrepreneurs to develop sustainable strategies and lay strong foundations, helping our clients manage intellectual property portfolios and future product development efforts.
Our IP attorneys have backgrounds in a variety of fields ranging from engineering and bioscience to business planning. This wide range of experience gives our team a broad perspective to help them anticipate and address big-picture concerns. Industries we have worked with include:
- A broad spectrum of mechanical and electrical fields
- Biotechnology
