Trademark + Copyright

Our trademark and copyright team manages complex, ongoing protection programs for some of the world’s best-known brands as well as for entrepreneurial and content creating clients. We have a proven track record of helping clients transform their symbols, images, taglines and creative works into valuable assets.

Drawing from decades of international experience, our attorneys work closely with clients to help them clear, register, enforce, and realign their trademark, trade dress, copyright, and design assets. Clients benefit from our innovative mindset, focus on client service, and global reach. Our team’s sophisticated advice is backed by the power of a multi-office, full-service firm. Our comprehensive approach to legal issues, combined with our practical, hands-on experience with the businesses of our clients, enables us to fully appreciate our client’s business and its opportunities. We use this understanding to provide forward-thinking, proactive strategies that help our clients avoid risk while also maximizing protection and value.

Public perception is often a company’s most valuable asset. Our dedicated team protects the messaging, images, brands, and advertising utilized by companies across all mediums. We collaborate with clients in all major sectors, including consumer goods, colleges and universities, electronics, energy, entertainment and sports, financial services, insurance, life sciences, personal care, restaurants and hospitality, retail and software, to help them realize the full potential of their brands.

The ability to instantly host and share content across various media and platforms has radically changed the risks surrounding the protection of copyrighted material. Companies, individual authors, and creators need to know their rights, understand how they can be enforced, and create effective policies in today’s “copy and paste” culture.

Our copyright attorneys collaborate with clients in industries such as media, publishing, advertising, broadcasting, design, art, music, entertainment, education, gaming, museums, and software. From managing copyright portfolios, licensing content, handling infringement investigations, and litigating disputes to counseling on fair use and artists’ rights, we provide clients with trusted guidance throughout their business cycle.
