We work with clients of all sizes in diverse industries, ranging from small startups to Fortune 50 companies. They depend on us to assert and defend their IP rights in a variety of industries around the world, including medical devices, wireless and telecommunications technology, software, electronics, consumer products, renewable energy, and defense and military.

We are flexible. Clients reach out to us for help registering trademarks or patents, or to discuss moving forward with new business ideas or selling products overseas. They contact us when they need help asserting their IP rights against someone who's infringing. We also work with clients accused of infringing someone else's trademarks or patents or trade secrets.

Success is not always about bringing a case to trial and getting a favorable jury verdict. Litigation is expensive, time-consuming, and complicated. We weigh the merits of every situation and in many cases settle before trial with good results for our clients.

We like to win, which we define as litigation in the form of a favorable jury verdict, settling before trial, refuting a cease-and-desist letter, or any other way we can help clients successfully assert or defend their IP rights. Whatever the strategy taken, we defend the rights of our clients aggressively and always pursue solutions with the best interests of our clients in mind.

Copyright and trademark laws vary by jurisdiction, but in general, the courts currently grant copyright protection only to human creators. However, human involvement in selecting algorithms, inputs, or overseeing the AI output might be a basis for copyright.

The ability to trademark AI-generated content may depend on whether the content is being used in connection with goods or services and if it meets the requirements for trademark protection. If the AI-generated content is being used to brand products or services in a way that distinguishes them in the marketplace, it might be eligible for trademark protection.

Because the situation related to AI and IP is always evolving, it’s best to consult with an intellectual property expert if you have questions.

The calculation of damages for intellectual property infringements is complex and depends on various factors. Generally, damages aim to compensate the rights holder for the economic harm suffered. Factors such as lost profits, the infringer's profits, or reasonable royalty rates may be considered, with the final amount contingent on the specific circumstances and applicable laws in the jurisdiction where the infringement occurred.

When intellectual property is created by teams in companies, inventorship for patents is typically determined based on who made substantial and inventive contributions to the development of the invention. These individuals are identified and credited as inventors on the patent application.

Generally, the value of trade secrets are protected through confidentiality and security measures rather than through trademark registration. Safeguarding information, limiting access, and having employees sign nondisclosure agreements are common practices to maintain secrecy.

Generally, patenting is a good idea to protect innovative ideas. However, the costs and complexity involved should be weighed against potential benefits. Small companies and individuals may want to consider factors such as market potential, competitive landscape, and the likelihood of successful patent enforcement before deciding to pursue patent protection.

To determine if an idea is patentable, consider whether it's novel, non-obvious, and has industrial applicability. The decision to pursue a patent becomes worth it when the potential benefits, such as market exclusivity or licensing opportunities, outweigh the costs of obtaining and maintaining the patent. Evaluating the idea's market potential and competitive landscape can help you make an informed decision.
