Asserting your intellectual property rights and defending against allegations of infringement are critical to the value of your business, and to your overall competitive strategy.
The financial and reputational stakes are often high for both sides of these disputes, which sometimes involve complex and lengthy cases that cross multiple jurisdictions.
Our IP Litigation team will work with you to spot critical issues early and reach strategically and financially sound resolutions in all IP areas. We will listen to your needs and quickly gain an understanding of your priorities in each specific matter. We regularly handle complex cases such as multi-patent, multi-district disputes between industry competitors, representing both plaintiffs and defendants.
We can also represent you in infringement, mediation and arbitration proceedings around the world, including before the Unified Patent Court International Chamber of Commerce, the London Court of International Arbitration and the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Our global team works together to deliver and execute a seamless cross-border strategy on your behalf. Our IP litigators have a high level of technical understanding and many hold advanced degrees in a wide variety of fields such as chemistry, genetics and engineering. Our strong legal knowledge combined with our extensive branding and product protection experience equals comprehensive advice that centers on the needs of your business.
We also can help you identify, leverage, protect and defend the value of your intellectual property and of the IP you acquire from mergers and acquisitions. In all cases, we’ll do what is required to give your IP the best possible protection.
We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in patent infringement, patent interference and patent-related antitrust suits; PTAB inter partes reviews and post-grant reviews; trademark and trade dress infringement suits; trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings; copyright infringement suits; trade secret claims; federal and state unfair competition controversies; and false advertising and other Lanham Act claims. Our recent experience includes:
- representing an international electronics manufacturer in its appeal of an ITC exclusion order, which the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed after concluding that the client’s products did not infringe the asserted patents
- winning a preliminary injunction on behalf of an international electronics manufacturer, requiring the complainant to terminate an ITC investigation based on a federal court exclusive venue provision in a license agreement
- obtaining a favorable resolution for a leading South Korean display technology company in a multi-jurisdictional patent infringement dispute against Taiwanese competitors. This concerned fundamental LCD display technology and discovery in South Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan and the Netherlands
- defeating a USPTO inter partes review brought against a patent owned by a global industrial equipment supplier. This unusual success for a patent owner also was affirmed on appeal
- conducting USPTO reexamination and non-infringement analysis of a patent for electronic FT providers
