Intellectual Property

COPYRIGHT

Artist or business, copyright often encompasses some of the most important assets you possess, whether it is music, books, photographs, screenplays, movies, software, or more.

• Infringement – Enforcement & Litigation
  Once you discover that someone has infringed your copyrighted work, enforcement of your rights becomes critical. In many cases, the dispute can be resolved pre-litigation through the sending of cease and desist letters and negotiation. In other instances, litigation is required. Our deep knowledge of copyright law and extensive federal court experience can help you resolve your copyright infringement dispute effectively and efficiently. If you are accused of infringing someone else’s copyright, we’ll look at the facts and law to determine what defenses are available to you.

TRADEMARK

In business, your reputation can make or break your company. In today’s global economy, branding is more important than ever, and your brand often serves as the shorthand for your company’s reputation.

• Infringement – Enforcement & Litigation
  Trademark disputes can be expensive and complex, making it crucial to have the right advisor on your team. As with copyright cases, we work to see if disputes can be resolved pre-litigation, whether you are enforcing your trademark or are accused of infringement. We’ll also work with you to handle opposition proceedings, cancellations, and trademark trials and appeals.
