Trademarks

We provide strategic counsel, from dispute resolution in high-stakes matters to rights acquisition and portfolio management.

We also offer integrated solutions for a wide range of modern brand protection issues, including trademark infringement disputes, domain name challenges, online platform brand protection, anti-counterfeiting efforts, and unfair competition matters.

Copyright

Our team advises on copyright considerations across a broad spectrum of works, including software, digital content, and music. We counsel on ownership, licensing, assignments, joint development, and work-for-hire issues and support infringement response and enforcement strategies. In addition, we provide practical, business-aligned solutions for complex issues such as copyright disputes arising in online and digital environments, infringement in the entertainment industry, content licensing, and copyright risks in advertising and brand use.

Our work includes infringement response, online and digital copyright disputes, entertainment industry claims, and copyright risks arising in advertising, brand use, and content licensing.
