Trademark
We provide trademark advice, counsel, prosecution and related services to small and large companies and individuals. We and our dedicated trademark staff provide assistance with trademark searches and analyses, pre-use counseling, intellectual property audits, and maintenance of trademark portfolios and assets. We have wide experience working with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and foreign registration, enforcement and screening issues. We are experienced with complex trademark litigation and dispute resolution matters.

Our firm won one of the first widely-publicized domain name arbitrations in the world for a celebrity (www.jimihendrix.com), using the new rules established by the Internet Community for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the services of the World Intellectual Property Organization. Our firm is a member of the International Trademark Association (INTA).

Licensing
We deal with a wide range of licensing matters on a regular basis, including software licenses, licenses of entertainment and media properties, submission agreements, and acquisition deals. We provide efficient, fast, and capable licensing assistance in both traditional and new industries, responding to the needs of clients as they pursue rights in others' intellectual property or as they license or transfer their own rights to third parties. We also have broad experience dealing with nondisclosure, noncompete, employment, work-made-for-hire, and independent contractor agreements that may affect intellectual property and competitive rights.

Other Intellectual Property Areas
The firm has experience in the areas of trade secrets, publicity rights, patent disputes, neighboring rights, and unfair competition claims, among others.
