Media
The attorneys in this practice group are experienced in litigating First
Amendment rights and media litigation issues, including defamation, libel,
rights of privacy and publicity, injunctions, gag orders and prior
restraints. Clients benefit from practical litigation strategies and
techniques relevant to their issues.
Intellectual Property
We provide defense representation in intellectual property claims
involving patents, copyrights and Lanham Act violations. The Technology, Media
and Intellectual Property Practice Group is actively involved in litigating
cases in state and federal courts in matters involving alleged patent
infringement, trademark infringement, trade dress infringement, unfair
competition claims and violations of copyright. We have also been involved
in successfully obtaining orders restraining parties from trading in
counterfeit products.
With respect to patent infringement claims, we draw from the engineering
experience and education of our attorneys to assist in evaluating these claims.
Our attorneys understand the science in patent claims and specifications, which
helps us provide an understandable presentation at trials and Markman hearings.
Much of our work in trademark, trade dress and copyright stems from referrals
from clients we have represented in products liability or general liability
claims. Our jury trial experience is of considerable value in presenting
patent, trademark, trade dress and copyright issues in an understandable
and persuasive manner to lay juries. This sharply distinguishes us from that
have intellectual property experience, but little or no jury trial record.
We pride ourselves on providing cost-effective representation coupled with
strong advocacy. We strive to provide clients with effective and innovative
solutions, and we are receptive to discussing alternative pricing strategies.
The Technology, Media and Intellectual Property Practice Group serves clients
in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale and
communities throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Florida, New
York and throughout the country.
