About Attorney Awards

Intellectual Property Litigation

RKC attorneys have significant experience serving local, national, and international businesses in disputes and transactions related to Intellectual Property. RKC stood at the forefront of the emerging area of internet law and argued one of the landmark cases on internet jurisdiction, Cybersell v. Cybersell, (9th Cir. 1997), and continues to represent clients in domain name disputes and internet defamation.

When it comes to IP litigation, our attorneys help develop and protect our clients’ intellectual property rights by providing a wide array of services:

  • evaluating intellectual property needs and assets, including providing freedom to operate, validity, infringement, and clearance opinions;
  • drafting, prosecuting, and registering copyrights and trademarks before the United States Copyright Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office;
  • negotiating franchise, licensing, non-competition, non-disclosure, marketing, and other rights agreements to protect and leverage the company’s trade secrets, copyrights, patents, trademarks, and other proprietary assets; and
  • monitoring, mediating, and, where necessary, litigating infringement, Lanham Act, misappropriation, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, unfair competition, false advertising, defamation, cybersquatting, and other disputes regarding proprietary assets.
  • RKC attorneys also defend disputes related to intellectual property before state, federal, and administrative agencies including the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
