Intellectual Property

Overview

Your inventions, content, and brand identity are your company’s currency. With a team approaching 200 intellectual property professionals, we partner with you to identify, protect, and leverage the value of your creative and intellectual assets on a global scale. We help you take your ideas and products from concept to market — and to enter new markets, enabled by our strong presence in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Guided by our in-depth knowledge of the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and its counterparts, we deftly navigate the prosecution of patents, trademarks, and copyrights across a wide range of industries and scientific disciplines. Our experience extends to legislative and regulatory affairs, where we play an active role in shaping a range of intellectual property policy. And, when litigation is necessary to defend or leverage your intellectual property, our deep bench of trial attorneys has the experience and skills to give you a competitive edge.
