Intellectual Property

The Firm’s Intellectual Property & Technology Law Group is focused on securing, protecting and enforcing our client’s domestic and international patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, trade dress, rights of publicity and privacy, enforcement, licensing and e-commerce.

The Firm has vast experience in securing the value of the intellectual property created and acquired by its clients in the United States and around the world.  Further, our team is fluent in not only securing these rights, but also identifying intellectual property assets our clients may overlook or otherwise may not be aware can be protected.  We work hand and hand with our clients to ensure their Intellectual Property portfolios are as comprehensive as possible.

Working on its own and in tandem with our other practice groups, our clients routinely rely on our Intellectual Property Practice Group for a broad range of intellectual property needs, including technology and patent landscaping, drafting and prosecution of patent, copyright and trademark applications, drafting and negotiating brand name licenses, software and non-disclosure agreements; recovering domain names from cybersquatters; and stopping misappropriation of their works.

Additionally, we regularly represent clients in litigation and adversarial proceedings. Click on the following links to learn more about the Firm’s litigation and privacy capabilities.

Our attorneys and patent agents have experience in a wide array of technological areas, including artificial intelligence (e.g., neural networks, machine learning, generative adversarial networks), Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, IoT devices and embedded systems, Biotechnology, material sciences, FinTech, consumer goods, athletic and sports equipment, 3D-printing and fabrication, and more.  Our team works closely with the inventors and developers of these technologies and help to not only secure the rights in the present generation, but those of the entire technological life cycle.

We also assist our clients in evaluating intellectual property assets that they are acquiring or selling. Our team is skilled at identifying and assessing potential liabilities in any transactions, including mergers and acquisitions and asset-based financing. Integral to the firm’s financing activities, our intellectual property lawyers conduct due diligence reviews of the intellectual property portfolios of such clients or acquisition targets. When our team identifies a potential obstacle during these processes, we work closely with the parties to find a solution.
