Litigation

Our Intellectual Property litigation practice has a national reach in all forms of intellectual property cases including patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secret and unfair competition.

We understand the critical role that intellectual property rights play in businesses, and we work closely with our clients to determine the best course of action. If litigation is warranted, we stand ready to move forward in an aggressive but efficient manner. We also understand the expense of litigation and the financial pressures our clients face, so we often provide alternative fee arrangements.
