IP Litigation
The enforcement of intellectual property rights often requires litigation. Litigation involving trademarks and copyrights typically occurs in federal court. Trademark infringement and cases involving cyber-squatting are covered under the Lanham Act, which allows for the recovery of injunctive relief, damages, and attorney’s fees in some cases. The Copyright Act governs disputes involving copyright infringement. In addition to infringement issues, litigation in federal court can be required to determine the validity of a party’s intellectual property rights and the ownership of such rights among other matters. We can:
- prepare and file pleadings
- conduct discovery
- prepare and file motions
- argue cases at trial
- file and litigate appeals
- negotiate settlements
