Intellectual Property

In an increasingly competitive and global market, harnessing innovation is essential to our clients’ long-term success. Intellectual property challenges can come from anywhere; that’s why we help clients develop, protect, and enforce all forms of intellectual property everywhere. Our team identifies, protects, manages and supports the strategic use of intangible assets to further our clients’ business goals. 

 

Innovation drives our clients’ success, and ours too. We litigate business-critical disputes, manage global portfolios, and handle complex transactions to deliver success for your brand. We prosecute and defend trade secret misappropriation cases in all settings. These include business-to-business dealings (indemnification agreements or control issues), employee mobility scenarios (covenants not to compete, nondisclosure agreements, severance pay and benefits), idea-submission cases (trademark rights, service marks, and copyrights), and overlapping state and federal claims that often arise in connection with trade secret claims. 

​

Our team is highly experienced in fast-paced injunction and temporary restraining order practice, expedited discovery and dispositive motion practice, trial practice, and appellate practice, internationally and across all industries. When necessary, we collaborate with colleagues across jurisdictions to protect your competitive edge. We litigate and resolve bet-the-company litigation through settlement or final judgment, for plaintiff and defendant clients, in U.S. state and federal courts, arbitrations, and administrative actions.
