Intellectual Property Law
Protect what you have built.
Intellectual property is often the most valuable asset a company owns — and the one most easily lost through inattention. We help creators, companies, and investors protect, license, and enforce their intellectual property across the United States and international markets, with a focus on the practical economics of IP: what it is worth, how it is protected, and how it generates revenue.
Our work spans trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and the IP dimensions of technology and software. We help clients register and manage trademark portfolios, structure licensing and technology-transfer arrangements, and enforce IP rights against infringement — through cease-and-desist, takedown, and litigation where necessary. We also defend clients against overbroad or unjustified IP claims asserted against them.
For technology companies, we address the IP questions that arise when a product is built on open-source, third-party APIs, user-generated content, or machine-learning models trained on third-party data. We help clients understand what they own, what they have licensed, and what they need to secure — so that the IP story is clean when an investor, acquirer, or partner asks.
Because IP is inherently cross-border, we coordinate with local counsel to secure and enforce rights in jurisdictions beyond the United States, and we advise on the international treaties and frameworks that make multi-jurisdictional protection possible. We help clients build an IP strategy that scales with the business and holds up wherever the product reaches.
