No matter the size, every business should have someone to assist them in navigating the deep waters of intellectual property law. As a full-service law firm, our team addresses intellectual property matters in many of its business and governmental transactions. Apart from patent filings, which we coordinate with outside counsel on behalf of our clients, our office is able to address your intellectual property needs. It is important for every business to secure and protect its own intellectual property and to ensure it does not infringe the intellectual property of others.
Our team works closely with clients to protect their intellectual property. Many other practice areas overlap with that of intellectual property. For example: (1) our employment law group protects trade secrets and works to ensure technology developed by employees is owned by the company; (2) our corporate and mergers and acquisitions groups helps ensure the proper transition of intellectual property rights during business transactions; and (3) our litigation group pursues infringement and breach of contract claims. In addition, we regularly pursue trademark registrations at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
