INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY/TRADE SECRET LITIGATION

Intellectual property – a company's logo, a product design, an advertising campaign – may be a business's most important asset and must be protected. Likewise, proprietary information – customer lists, internal procedures, employee information – must also be protected, both for the good of a business and, in some cases, to comply with the law.

We represent businesses in connection with the protection of their intellectual property and proprietary information. For example, we have:

Prosecuted a federal action for unfair competition on behalf of a highly regarded information technology firm whose corporate identity was stolen
Represented a real estate professional who was the victim of "typosquatting"
Successfully defended a client against federal claims of "cybersquatting"
Represented an information technology school against former employees who improperly diverted business opportunities and improperly utilized proprietary information
Drafted confidentiality agreements for a consulting company that developed an innovative means of educating advertising professionals
Prosecuted claims on behalf of clients whose employees and/or affiliates made improper use of customer lists and other proprietary information
