We also specialize in litigation concerning issues of trade dress infringement, false and misleading advertising, and unfair competition. Opposition, cancellation and concurrent rights proceedings before the TTAB provide an important, relatively quick, and economical method for resolving many trademark-related disputes. Quick action is sometimes required to protect or defend valuable trademark rights. Our attorneys are able to respond expediently to situations - from seizures of counterfeit goods to temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. Same-day filing is often possible because we are only minutes from state and federal courts.
Copyrights come into existence upon creation and when fixed in tangible form.
Registering works is important to preserve remedies in the event of infringement. Counseling clients regarding all aspects of copyright law, evaluating copyrightable subject matter, and assessing the scope of protection available under U.S. and foreign copyright laws are essential components of our practice. Rapid advances in software and Internet development have fostered rapid changes in intellectual property law.
