Full-Service Intellectual Property Law Firm

Our definition of a full-service intellectual property law firm includes every service necessary to provide a client with the proper advice before, during, and after a matter is handled. The following are some of the more common services we provide.

Identification of Intellectual Property

We assist clients in identifying inventions, proprietary designs, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrightable material that may require protective measures. We also assist in developing in-house programs to help employees identify proprietary developments and to help avoid loss of rights to those developments.

Enforcement of Rights

For over one hundred years, we have enforced our clients' rights through litigation and negotiated settlements. We aggressively assist our clients in determining if others are infringing upon any intellectual property rights, or are competing unfairly.

Product Clearance Opinions and Litigation Defense

We conduct studies before a client introduces something new to ascertain if it infringes upon any existing patent, trademark, or copyright. This is a critical function, and one that can save a client significant time and money in the long run. We also defend clients who have been sued in connection with intellectual property matters.

Licensing Agreements

We have extensive experience negotiating, drafting, and executing license agreements based on patentable technology, unpatented know-how, trademarks, and/or copyrights. We work closely with our clients to understand the value and scope of the intellectual property being transferred.

Preparation of Other Agreements

We prepare any agreements necessary to help a client with its intellectual property affairs, including employment agreements; confidentiality and non-confidentiality agreements; consulting agreements; and trademark co-existence agreements. We also have extensive expertise in government contracting that involves technology rights.

Guidance

Intellectual property is usually a key part of a business plan, and sometimes an entire business is launched from a single patented idea. We offer guidance to individuals and major corporations.

Entertainment Law

We can advise entertainers, artists, authors, and composers in the field of entertainment law.
