INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW

We help businesses and individual clients apply, protect and enforce patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. We can assist clients in a timely and efficient manner and resolve matters including the following:

• Patent Prosecution & Portfolio Management

Our registered patent attorneys have extensive experience and expertise in technical areas and can provide patent drafting and prosecution services before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Many of our patent prosecution activities center on the specialized technologies that our attorneys are uniquely trained and experienced to handle, such as biotechnology and electronics. We also employ highly seasoned technology consultants from various backgrounds to ensure complete comprehension of technological innovations.

We prosecute patent applications in the U.S. and around the world. Docketing and maintenance of the U.S. and foreign patent files are handled by our team. We provide assistance to clients through portfolio building, due diligence investigations, performing patent audits and portfolio assessments, and conducting validity and infringement studies. We work closely with clients to construct patent programs tailored to capture technological discoveries and innovations against other competitors.

In addition, our team has broad and deep experiences in structuring, drafting and negotiating licenses conforming to applicable industry standards for licensing purposes.

• Trademark Prosecution & Portfolio Management

We help protect the brands and manage the portfolios on behalf of clients by counseling clients at important stage from clearance, selection and adoption in the U.S. and international markets. Our team has substantial experiences at Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceedings in trademark opposition and cancellation.

• Copyright

We help clients in copyright registration, licensing and enforcement.

• Trademark and Copyright Transactions

We provide strategic counsel in negotiating and documenting business relationships such as work-for-hire agreements, outsourcing deals, joint ventures and distribution agreements to better ensure the protection and exploitation of the clients’ trademark and copyright rights.

​

• Intellectual Property Litigation:

We litigate matters in federal district courts, state courts, and U.S. International Trade Commission regarding patent infringement, trademark infringement, copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation. Our litigators can provide robust support to both plaintiffs and defendants.

Among patent cases, we can protect a maturing company’s innovation, or represent the defendant against infringement charges. We may also counsel the clients in alternative dispute resolutions such as settlement or mediation if we objectively evaluate the situation and suggest it as the cost-effective solution. In addition, we have experiences filing litigation driven patent re-examinations.

We can also provide experienced and responsive representation in the litigation, arbitration, and mediation of disputes involving trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. We help clients police and enforce these intellectual property rights and defend against claims of infringement or misappropriation.
