Intellectual Property
When it comes to providing support and protection for our clients’ intellectual property, we are proud to offer the following key areas of expertise:
Trademark Prosecution and Counseling
We assist clients in obtaining, protecting and enforcing trademarks, including conducting and reviewing searches and investigations for trademark clearance; preparing opinion letters; filing and prosecuting trademark applications; and providing general trademark and domain name counseling.
Copyright Protection and Copyright Infringement
We support copyright owners in protecting their business assets through licensing agreements, and, where practical, through registration with the U.S. Copyright Office. We represent copyright owners of computer software, lyrics, literary works, and artistic design. We also handle copyright infringement matters at all levels of controversy, from cease and desist letters to formal court proceedings.
Advertising and Public Relations Counseling
We review and pre-clear advertising copy, press releases, marketing and promotional materials and other corporate communications for compliance with applicable federal, state, and local rules and laws.
Licensing and Transactional Work
We structure, draft and negotiate the license or transfer of intellectual property and related content through license agreements, joint ventures, and other transactional documents. This work includes negotiating and drafting terms, structuring license, transfer and transition arrangements, and preparing intellectual property representations and warranties.
