Our intellectual property services include enforcing and defending our clients’ intellectual property rights through litigation and alternative dispute resolution, and providing guidance to clients to avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others.

We counsel clients and litigate on their behalf in state and federal courts and before agencies on a full range of intellectual property matters, including trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, copyright infringement, software license disputes, Internet and domain name disputes, e-commerce concerns, false advertising, unfair competition and data privacy. We have experience handling trademark and trade name disputes under the Lanham Act and its state counterparts, as well as litigation involving copyright infringement.

We prosecute and defend actions involving the alleged wrongful disclosure of trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information. We assist clients to ensure that their employees do not disclose or improperly use confidential or proprietary materials. We draft individual confidentiality agreements and non-disclosure and non-compete contracts for employees, vendors, contractors, partners and other third parties.

We provide sound, practical advice to a wide range of emerging and established biotechnology, manufacturing, telecommunications and Internet-based businesses, as well as other industries.
