IP Litigation

We defend the intellectual property rights of domestic and foreign technology and life sciences clients, publicly traded multinational corporations and startup ventures. The controversies that we resolve in federal and state courts include patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret litigation, non-competition litigation, licensing disputes, and other complex commercial litigation, including antitrust, unfair competition, and product liability. Our litigators proactively counsel clients on litigation risk management, pre-litigation analysis and assessment, and negotiated dispute resolution before arbitrators and mediators across the country.
