Focus Area
Intellectual Property Litigation
Businesses and innovators count on our Intellectual Property Litigation Team to defend and enforce the rights that drive growth and define market position. With decades of trial and appellate experience in venues nationwide, we bring the skill and resolve needed to secure a lasting competitive edge.
We represent clients in disputes involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, trade dress, unfair competition, false advertising, and other IP-related claims. Our clients range from innovators in retail, education, and healthcare—including drug manufacturing and medical devices—to leaders in software, apparel, entertainment, publishing, video games, radio, and photo-imaging. Many operate across multiple states or internationally, giving us a deep understanding of the complex IP challenges across industries.
We work closely with in-house counsel, executives, and technical experts to safeguard not just the IP rights in dispute, but the value of entire portfolios. Our team has appeared in federal and state courts, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, International Trade Commission, and arbitration panels. Combining litigation skill with business insight, we deliver results through courtroom advocacy, negotiated resolutions, or agreements that create new opportunities.
Our experience includes Hatch-Waxman pharmaceutical litigation, patent interference proceedings, counterfeit goods disputes, and licensing matters. We have secured favorable results in venues such as the Eastern District of Texas, Eastern District of Virginia, Southern District of New York, and District of Delaware. Whether resolving matters early or pursuing them through trial and appeal, clients choose us to protect innovation, maintain market leadership, and turn legal victories into lasting business value.
