We represent clients in post-grant proceedings such as inter partes review (IPR) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that challenge the validity of patent claims.

Shortened product cycles and job-hopping by employees have raised the stakes in trade secrets claims, and our team works closely with clients to protect their trade secrets and litigate matters that threaten their intellectual assets.

We help clients save time and money by advising them on whether there is an infringement to be pursued, defended, or otherwise resolved.

Understanding whether there is a valid infringement claim to pursue can help clients make more informed decisions on IP litigation. Our team creates detailed validity/invalidity opinions and counsels clients on making more strategic decisions on these complex matters.

We represent clients in complex patent, trademark, and copyright applications, assess responses from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and U.S. Copyright Office, and follow the application through until successful issuance.
