Intellectual Property and Technology Department

In a technological age, assets increasingly take the form of intellectual property. To assist clients and protect their valuable intangible assets, we provide services in the field of intellectual property. We conduct trademark searches, register trademarks, and advise on the availability of marks and potential conflicts. We also provide analysis of the value and protection for intellectual property rights. In cases of infringement, we commence lawsuits under both federal law and state unfair business practice statutes for monetary damages and injunctive relief. Additionally, our experience includes drafting of license agreements for trademarks, literary works and software.

Technology licensing and rights agreements have proven to be valuable revenue tools for clients and therefore require special attention to detail. We assist clients in purchasing, licensing, and transferring technology. In the emerging field of Internet law, we believe that we are properly positioned to provide clear, expert service to address our clients' needs. Our clients include software development companies, telecommunication ventures and manufacturers, as well as license holders and archival research firms.
