We are a trial-ready intellectual property team built to win high-stakes patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright disputes. We pair proven first-chair litigators with technical specialists, including engineering and scientific authorities, to protect, enforce, and defend innovations and brands when business-critical products and market access are on the line. Our team is distinguished by deep trial experience and a track record of delivering decisive courtroom victories in complex, bet-the-company disputes.

Our litigators have handled hundreds of complex matters in federal and state courts nationwide, in arbitrations, and before the USPTO, PTAB, TTAB, the International Trade Commission, U.S. District Court, and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. We represent clients across industries including technology and software, semiconductors and networking, telecommunications, medical devices and life sciences, biotech, financial services, energy, consumer products, transportation, entertainment and media, cosmetics, and food and beverage. 

Clients rely on us across the IP lifecycle – from generating and protecting IP (patent prosecution and counseling; trademark/brand portfolio development; trade secret and copyright counseling) to conveying and monetizing IP (licensing and other transactions; IP due diligence for M&A, divestitures, IPOs, equity investments, royalty monetization, and joint ventures) to enforcing and challenging rights through district court trials, PTAB post-grant proceedings (including inter partes review), and ITC investigations. 

Our litigators bring extensive courtroom experience and a long history of taking cases to trial –and winning – creating meaningful settlement leverage. We regularly litigate patent cases in key venues including the Western and Eastern Districts of Texas, the District of Delaware, and the Central and Northern Districts of California, and we handle related disputes such as false advertising (Lanham Act), license agreement disputes, and breach of contract actions. Our attorneys act for both complainants and respondents in ITC Section 337 investigations spanning a wide array of technologies.
