INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PRACTICE |
Practice Group Contact: Michael D. Fabiano
We have extensive experience in intellectual property litigation, licensing, and counseling, successfully representing a variety of large corporations, growing businesses, and individuals in patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret matters.
Our experience, and our focus on providing highly-skilled legal representation, allow us to deliver to clients the best resolution to their intellectual property matters. We represent clients as lead counsel in many cases, and we have also represented clients as part of a team of firms in matters where separate representation of parties is necessary or desirable, due to potential conflicts or for strategic reasons. Additionally, our attorneys have served as experienced local counsel in matters in which the client has also retained out-of-state attorneys to represent them.
We are committed to providing, to every client, high quality representation with personal accessibility and accountability.
We represent and have represented clients in a broad array of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret matters, including: |
- Patent infringement litigation involving technology patents and questions of double patenting, inequitable conduct before the Patent and Trademark Office, patent misuse and antitrust issues, and attorney conflict/disqualification issues.
- Trademark and false-advertising litigation involving “comparison advertising” comparing a consumer product with a competitor’s better-known product.
- Trade secret litigation involving the alleged misappropriation and misuse of proprietary technology, information, and documents by a company’s former employees who departed for a competing business.
- Patent infringement litigation involving internet business method patents, companies extending “traditional” businesses into internet commerce, and the on-sale and prior publication bars to patentability.
- Patent, trademark, and copyright licensing involving a manufacturer of computer video games, and the sale of that company to a larger business.
- Patent licensing involving computer and networking hardware technologies, and involving internet technologies.
- Trademark litigation involving the misappropriation of the name and customers of a technology business by a direct competitor, in which we ultimately forced the adverse party to change its corporate name and undertake other corrective measures.
- Patent infringement litigation involving sophisticated telecommunications equipment and an accused infringer’s ability to rely upon licenses granted to non-parties with whom the accused infringer has a cooperative business arrangement.
