Our firm provides legal services designed to ensure that our clients understand, protect, and appropriately monetize their intellectual property. Like our clients, we take the enforcement of intellectual property rights seriously. We protect and enforce these rights so that our clients can continue to grow and thrive.
We also pride ourselves on having supported novel and customer-focused antipiracy efforts outside of litigation. Our firm has assisted in the development of lawful and innovative business strategies that have curbed piracy efforts across the world, effectively and efficiently, without requiring courtroom-based enforcement.
We help our clients position for growth by providing a comprehensive overview of available intellectual property protections based on their particular industry. We work with our clients to deeply understand their business model and develop strategies to align their intellectual property to their objectives. As part of this, we consider the entire intellectual property portfolio to ensure our clients maximize the value of their intellectual property assets.
Our practice starts with the preparation, filing, and prosecution of trademark and patent applications, as well as registration of copyrights, Vessel Hull Design Protection Act filings, and other registrations of intellectual property rights. We also leverage our network of thousands of lawyers across the globe to protect our client’s intellectual property through registration in foreign countries.
Where appropriate, we advise our clients on practices and procedures for protecting trade secrets and other valuate business information.
We manage intellectual property portfolios for clients in various industry sectors, including a multinational aviation services company, a health non-profit, a financial compliance software provider, and a major vitamin and supplement manufacturer. We also act as local counsel for international companies seeking to protect their intellectual property in the United States.
We understand that intellectual property is a business asset and assist our clients in a wide range of commercialization efforts. We have strong experience in software and trademark licensing, as well as the acquisition and sale of all types of intellectual property assets.
Our practice routinely represents our clients’ interests before regulatory bodies such as the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
When disputes arise, our firm capably advocates for our clients through all stages of the process. We have negotiated favorable resolutions in numerous pre-litigation disputes involving allegations of trademark infringement, patent infringement, and trade secret misappropriation.
Our firm also routinely represents clients in resolving intellectual property litigation, from minor disputes to bet-the-company matters. We have extensive antipiracy experience worldwide, having not only enforced our client’s rights in a multitude of matters, but also having worked with a leading provider of innovative and technology-based antipiracy solutions to develop novel and lawful antipiracy techniques applicable worldwide outside of traditional courtroom enforcement of rights.
Other examples of our intellectual property litigation experience include successful representation of a healthcare staffing company in trade secret misappropriation actions in federal court, representation of a software developer in a copyright infringement and trade secret theft case in the Middle District of Florida, representation of a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company in a patent litigation in the Middle District of Florida; representation of a semiconductor manufacturer in patent litigation in the Central District of California; representation of a manufacturer in patent litigation in the District of Arizona; and representation of a technology services company in a patent litigation in the Middle District of Florida.
As another representative example, our firm represented an educational service provider in two related litigations in the Northern District of Florida involving several complex copyright and trade secret issues. We represented a real estate company in copyright litigation in the Middle District of Florida involving allegations of infringing use of a developer’s source code. We represented a shared ownership company in litigation in the Middle District of Florida involving the theft and resale of corporate trade secrets by a former employee. We also represented a manufacturer in a trademark dispute in the Southern District of New York.
