Patents

We handle patent searches, applications, prosecution, licensing, and enforcement. For example, we recently helped a startup secure a utility patent for their novel gaming device.Â

Trademarks

Our team conducts trademark clearances, register trademarks, handle oppositions, and enforce trademark rights through litigation. For instance, we enforced a client’s trademark against an infringing competitor via a cease-and-desist letter.

Copyrights

We register creative works, advise on fair use, acquire licenses, and issue takedown notices for infringement under the Copyright Act. For example, we registered copyrights for a film production company’s new movie.Â

Trade secrets

We draft agreements to protect confidential information and represent clients in trade secret misappropriation cases. For instance, we sued a former employee for stealing our client’s proprietary software.Â

IP transactions

We negotiate and draft licensing, assignment, coexistence, technology transfer, and IP-related contracts. For example, we recently facilitated a cross-licensing deal between two electronics firms.

IP due diligence

We thoroughly evaluate a company’s IP portfolio in M&A deals and investments to identify risks, value assets, and improve negotiations.
