Protecting intellectual property is the hallmark of a commercial law practice. In many cases, a company's intellectual property represents the lion's share of its underlying value. Therefore, it is essential to know that such items as copyrights, trademarks and confidentiality agreements are in place and binding. The firm's intellectual property practice seeks to do that and more.

In this regard, the firm advises its clients respecting:

• Corporate audits regarding the client's intellectual property
• Copyright registration filings
• Trademark and servicemark registration filings and appeals
• Contractual protection of trade secrets
• Non-disclosure agreements
• Litigation to enforce intellectual property rights
• Litigation of disputes related to trade secret theft and unfair competition
• Review and negotiation of license, assignment and royalty agreements
• Litigation of cybersquatting claims
• Patent licensing and assignment agreements
• Representation before the Federal Trademark Trial & Appeal Board
