IP Litigation & Dispute Resolution

With a strategic approach tailored to each client’s specific business goals, we stand ready to address and resolve our clients’ most critical IP and technology disputes.

We have extensive experience enforcing and defending clients’ IP rights, monetizing valuable IP assets, and protecting investments in innovation, technology and R&D.

Our dedicated IP & Technology Litigation attorneys have a long history of trial and appellate wins in federal and state courts throughout the United States, international arbitrations, and proceedings before the U.S. International Trade Commission. Our attorneys also have a proven track record of leading strategic licensing and settlement negotiations outside of the courtroom to achieve our clients’ business goals. Working in partnership with our clients, we identify and implement the optimal strategy for each situation, with a sharp focus on mitigating risks and containing costs.

IP Monetization

We bring extensive IP litigation experience to bear in helping clients maximize revenue streams related to their IP assets. We assist clients seeking to monetize IP assets at all stages in the process, from helping clients identify IP assets likely to drive substantial value in licensing, sale or other monetization efforts, to evaluating contemplated IP acquisitions, selecting potential licensing targets, negotiating IP licenses and other monetization transactions and, where necessary, enforcing IP rights.

From software development, chemical processes and technical manufacturing to mobile communications, video streaming and advanced computing applications, our IP & Technology Litigation lawyers have cultivated a deep understanding of the technologies that are critical to our clients’ success. This knowledge, combined with a sophisticated awareness of the business challenges clients face, positions our lawyers to develop and execute tailored legal strategies.
