Effective litigation and dispute resolution consists of in-depth technical knowledge, a concise understanding of intellectual property and unfair competition laws, and effective advocacy skills. As we have grown, expanded, and achieved a remarkable degree of success in representing our clients, we continue to maintain a talented litigation department highly schooled and remarkably experienced in all aspects o intellectual property litigation. We aggressively litigate cases throughout the United States and act in close concert with foreign attorneys pursuing or defending all forms of disputes that arise abroad.
The primary thrust of our energy, expertise and emphasis is the ultimate achievement of our client's business goals through the process of litigation. However, settlement in the form of arbitration, mediation and other non-litigation strategies are aggressively pursued to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. We represent plaintiffs and defendants at all levels of state and federal courts, practice before state and federal agencies, government administrative agencies such as the International Trade Commission, the U.S. Customs Services, United States Patent and Trademark Office; and function as creative advisors, consultants and expert witnesses in both domestic and foreign courts.
Our goal is to develop defensive strategies to minimize liability exposure by conducting infringement validity and enforceability investigations, advising on the possibility of conflict and assisting in developing solutions. Should a conflict arise, we prosecute and defend patent and trademark infringement matters, unfair competition cases, the misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information and license agreement disputes.
