Trademarks, Copyright, Prosecution, & Licensing
For more than a century, clients have turned to our Intellectual Property Group's nationally-recognized trademark and copyright practice for guidance and representation. We carefully identify our clients' intellectual property, devise strategies for selection and clearance and look for innovative ways to ensure that their marks, creative works and other materials are protected.
To protect a company’s creative and intellectual capital, legal counsel must effectively prosecute applications for trademarks in every jurisdiction where the company does business. To assist our trademark lawyers in this effort, we have a skilled team of trademark paralegals and technical staff with many years of collective experience. We complement our firm's capabilities through the relationships we have with experienced counsel in jurisdictions around the world.
Our attorneys are also experienced in the licensing of trademarks and copyrights, helping clients to reap the maximum benefit from their own IP assets, or through the licensing of other companies’ assets. We have negotiated and drafted trademark and copyright licenses for companies in such fields as fashion, food and beverages, consumer products, electronics, publishing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and software.
