Overview

Our Trademarks & Copyrights practice consists of intellectual property attorneys and paralegals with decades of experience in domestic and international trademark and copyright law. We are dedicated to all types of trademark and copyright matters, as well as trade dress, domain name, internet, and unfair competition issues. Our experience includes working with startups and small companies, as well as large and global corporations.

With the expanding use of e-commerce channels and evolving digital and social media marketing and advertising, the protection of trademarks, copyrights, and domain names is more important than ever. A distinctive brand name or trademark, along with creative advertising materials, helps to effectively promote and establish a company’s public identity and reputation. This builds significant brand equity and goodwill among consumers, and readily distinguishes the company from its competitors.

We invest time in understanding our clients’ businesses and technologies, as well as their goals and challenges. In this way, we are able to partner with our clients and formulate targeted and cost-effective domestic and international brand name and trademark protection and enforcement strategies that are best suited to each client. Our attorneys help our clients be proactive about IP matters, make informed business decisions, and get ahead of potential issues and obstacles.
