Intellectual Property
Our team of intellectual property attorneys will work side-by-side with you to register and protect your rights through:
We offer a complete international trademark practice, including worldwide trademark portfolio management and brand development services, international trademark, service mark and trade name clearances, trademark prosecution on a national, regional (e.g., European Union) and international basis, as well as international licensing and distribution agreements, supplier, manufacturer and vendor agreements.
Our attorneys have handled transactions ranging from Fortune 500 international intellectual property and brand acquisitions to international title searches, due diligence and worldwide intellectual property assignments. With our network of associated attorneys throughout the world, we handle trademark registration matters in practically every country. Our experience extends to creation and management of large portfolios exceeding 500 registrations worldwide.
We also perform brand watching services, render international infringement opinions, engage in anti-counterfeiting actions and enforcement activities, and in-use investigations, conduct due diligence, and analyze the proper brand protection and enforcement activities.
We routinely counsel clients regarding Copyright Act protection and obtain copyright registrations, including those specific to the retail industry, such as private label designs, web sites and marketing communications, music and audiovisual works, and fine art. Once a copyright is registered, we work with clients to preserve exclusive rights under both U.S. law and international treaties.
In addition to protecting our clients’ rights, we ensure they do not run afoul of the rights of others. We counsel to avoid infringing third party copyrights and obtain licenses to use third party copyrighted works.
We also handle everything from single party licenses, to multi-party multi-level distribution and license agreements, both domestically and internationally.
