We partner with you on essential business functions concerning your most valuable assets, including the creation, licensing, and sale of intellectual property rights.  When litigation is necessary, we are committed to zealously protecting and upholding the value of that intellectual property.

Our IP team works with companies ranging from small, local start-up ventures to large, national enterprises, registering, pursuing and defending patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and litigating trade secret misappropriation and unfair competition claims.
