Practice/Industry Group Overview
Unlike many other large intellectual property practices, which tend to focus only on patent law, we recognize that the best intellectual property strategy will often require a combination of filings. Our attorneys are skilled at all aspects of intellectual property law. Our goal is to build an impenetrable sphere around our clients' valuable assets. This is done not only to register the intellectual property, but to frighten away potential infringers and to allow the client to realize the fullest possible value of the intellectual property.

Services Available
This big picture perspective allows clients to relate to us not as a patent filing factory, but as trusted advisors, guiding them through the maze of intellectual property opportunities and choices.
At least half of the attorneys within our Intellectual Property Practice have many years experience handling intellectual property litigation cases. We work hand in hand with the firm's Litigation Practice to ensure that clients retain the full value of their investments in all forms of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
