Intellectual property is a major asset of almost every company, and a sophisticated strategy to secure, manage and enhance its value can be critical to the company’s success. Only a law firm with both the legal experience and a deep commitment to understanding its client’s industry and business goals can provide the kind of practical advice necessary to achieve these goals.
Our IP team numbers 75 attorneys spread across all eight of our offices from coast to coast, and reaching to China. We provide comprehensive practical advice over the full range of patent, trademark and copyright procurement, registration, licensing and litigation, as well as marketing and trade secret strategies. We have extensive experience in the IP aspects of all forms of transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, product development agreements, licensing and distribution agreements, across a broad range of industries, and regularly provide due diligence analysis and legal opinions associated with such transactions.
With the firm’s extensive experience in the media, communications and technology industries, including our representation of many market-leading companies, we are extremely familiar with issues involving the electronic distribution of content and the complex relationships among content developers and distributors.
Our attorneys are nationally recognized for their IP capabilities. Many have had previous careers as in-house counsel, engineers, researchers, editors and related positions in the industries we represent. That scope and depth of experience is matched only by our passionate commitment to the quality of our work and the long-term success of our clients and the industries we serve. |
