English French Overview Experience People When clients are facing contentious matters involving their patents, they turn to Hughes Hubbard’s Intellectual Property team. The group is renowned for innovative and blockbuster results which have altered the patent landscape, including, most recently, the Supreme Court’s May 2017 decision in TC Heartland, which overturned nearly 30 years of lower court precedent interpreting the patent venue statute. The TC Heartland case illustrates what Hughes Hubbard’s Patent, Trademark & Copyright practice is best known for: identifying winning patent strategies that rival groups do not even recognize as strategies. This tactic, coupled with our vast experience in a wide variety of technical fields, including product liability and ITC trade cases, provides clients with unparalleled counsel. Our copyright practice offers a complete scope of services to assist clients in obtaining, enforcing, licensing, buying and selling copyrights and copyrighted material, including literary works, music and video delivered via broadcast and cable. We are well-versed in the protection of computer software, database and information licensing, multimedia and related areas of Internet-copyright issues, advertising, character licensing, and rights of publicity and privacy.
