The Firm has a premier intellectual property practice, representing institutional and individual clients in a wide variety of copyright, trademark, technology, licensing, defamation, invasion of privacy and unfair competition matters. We assist clients in developing programs to protect trade secrets through the use of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. We counsel clients on preventing trade secret liability for themselves, particularly when hiring employees from competitors. We can help implement or oversee a comprehensive program for managing intellectual property, including identifying, documenting, centralizing, protecting and promoting all forms of intellectual property.
We have experience with book, motion picture, television, music, archives and art transactions, as well as a broad array of licensing, joint ownership and other agreements involving intellectual property. We represent universities and colleges, publishers and authors, Indian nations and pueblos, museums, foundations, musicians, artists, high-tech companies and governmental entities in handling works from software programs to architecture and class materials to technological know-how.
The Firm has a broad trademark practice, efficiently handling both routine and difficult types of trademark clearance searching and registration. The Firm also has extensive experience in licensing, enforcement and litigation, and can ably assist in drafting and negotiating intellectual property licenses.
Our intellectual property litigation practice includes copyright, trade name and trademark matters, deceptive trade practices, unfair competition and trade secret misappropriation, and breach of contract disputes involving intellectual property rights.
