The ease of inventing and going to market has created a competitive global marketplace. Under these conditions, it has never been more important to protect and enforce your valuable patent assets throughout the intellectual property (IP) lifecycle to preserve your edge and safeguard your business value.
To mitigate risk and capitalize on opportunities that advance your business goals, you need a partner in the courtroom and the boardroom. We assemble the best team possible to deliver business-driven solutions for existing challenges, as well as offer innovative strategies that will help you stay ahead of the competition. Our global IP practice includes more than 100 lawyers and professionals who offer a mix of business-savvy and technical skills to achieve success for clients. Nearly 75% of our members have technical degrees in science and engineering, and more than one-third have advanced degrees in relevant technical disciplines such as electrical and mechanical engineering, computer science, physics, materials science, biotechnology, biology, chemistry, immunology, and genetics.
As the patent litigation landscape grows increasingly complex, with recent precedent-setting decisions from the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States, we offer an IP litigation team well known for protecting and enforcing patents globally through complex litigation. We handle high-stakes disputes across geographies, including the US federal district and appellate courts, the Supreme Court, the US International Trade Commission (ITC), the US Patent & Trademark Office, the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB), and the courts of Europe and China.
We have a longstanding record of achieving favorable outcomes for clients in high-profile US venues for patent litigation, including in the Western and Eastern Districts of Texas, the District of Delaware, the Northern and Central Districts of California, and the Eastern District of Virginia. We have also achieved key successes in cases against non-practicing entities (NPEs), as well as in bet-the-company patent litigation.
Several of our team members have deep industry experience and have successfully litigated disputes involving technologies such as semiconductors, telecommunications, software, computer hardware, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. This helps us effectively explain complex technology and IP legal principles to both judges and juries in a way that increases the likelihood of achieving favorable results on your behalf. We can also resolve disputes through favorable settlement negotiations.
In all matters, we are fearless and relentless advocates for your company, here to protect and enforce your patent assets throughout your business lifecycle.
