Litigation

IP litigation often requires a skillful blend of control, persuasion and assertiveness. Our attorneys have earned a national reputation as litigators who win cutting-edge cases before juries, judges and administrative agencies. We take pride in counseling our clients to seek alternatives to litigation, and creating positive solutions and settlements when possible. We recommend litigation only as a last resort, after all reasonable avenues of alternative resolutions are explored and exhausted.

We make sure we have a complete and thorough knowledge of our clients' technology, the law, and the facts of the case. What distinguishes us is our ability to convincingly communicate complex technologies and positions to judges and juries in terms they can understand and appreciate. However, communication with our clients is the most important aspect of our litigations, and we strive to consult our clients every step of the way in an open and timely manner.

Our litigators have helped shape IP laws in this country by being a part of major decisions nationwide, in Federal District Courts, the Circuit Courts of Appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Our litigation team handles all matters involving IP issues before U.S. courts and administrative agencies, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the U.S. Trade Commission. We also advise our clients on how best to protect their rights in non-litigated disputes and controversies, as well as how to avoid them. In addition, we have an extensive network of international agents with whom we regularly work, and who can handle IP issues throughout the world.
