The level of competition in U.S. and international business increases daily, and winners and losers are often determined by the quality and scope of each competitor's intellectual property rights. Our goal is to have a positive effect on the value of a client's business and competitive position. We help translate technical and often complex issues into comprehensive and sound business decisions. How We Help A substantial component of our work for clients lies in the creation of commercial property rights, as well as the protection and leverage of rights in the patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret area.
Some clients maintain sophisticated in-house intellectual property programs.
Many of our attorneys have significant corporate expertise, which helps to ease this partnership, and experience in guiding clients of all sizes through the unfamiliar realm of U.S. and international intellectual property laws. Our client service spans the globe as we represent regional, national and international companies. Where necessary, we rely on the strong relationships built with associates in many foreign countries to enhance our service to clients around the world. And, as the exclusive Indiana member of Lex Mundi, a global association of more than 130 independent law firms, we have access to recognized and respected intellectual property attorneys in virtually every country. When the situation warrants, we protect our clients' rights through patent, trademark and related litigation.
