The law firm of Daniel P. Burke & Associates, PLLC represents clients from around the world in connection with patents, trademarks, copyrights and unfair competition. The Firm advises clients ranging from individual entrepreneurs to large multinational corporations in securing patents, trademarks and copyright registrations (traditionally known as prosecution), in licensing, in the acquisition of intellectual property, as well as in lawsuits before the U.S. Federal Courts.
The attorney-client relationship is a special relationship based upon mutual respect and confidence. Our culture is to provide excellent legal representation designed to help you in attaining your goals. In light of the nature of our practice, our relationships are based upon close team work and clear communication with our clients. This requires close consultation with you.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We recommend that clients protect their rights while investigating and respecting the rights of others to avoid larger, costly problems down the road. In this way, our clients can maintain and grow their businesses and intellectual property portfolios on a sound foundation.
Represent U.S. and international clients in U.S. federal courts from pre-litigation strategies to the commencement of civil actions through appeals, with first chair litigation experience in over 30 patent, trademark/trade dress and copyright infringement actions, including taking depositions, obtaining expert witnesses, preparing and filing motions and briefs, direct and cross examination of trial witnesses.
