Technology - Intellectual Property Litigation

The Firm is able provide representation to clients in complex commercial cases with special emphasis on trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition in high technology areas. The Firm can assist in cases involving the full range of disputes that technology businesses experience: software copyright infringement, trademark infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of confidentiality or non-compete agreements, movement of key employees between companies, and tortious interference with business and contractual relationships. We can represent clients in all phases of litigation - from evaluating the initial decision to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, through trial, post-trial appellate practice, and collections.  We can advise clients on all aspects of litigation strategy, not only with respect to issues such as choice of forum, jurisdiction, and other procedural matters, but also on cost-effective ways to achieve a business objective that can be accomplished only through litigation.  For us, litigation is a means to an end, rather than an end in itself.

We understand the underlying business issues inherent in litigation that our clients face and we partner with our clients to address those issues. This philosophy manifests itself specifically in our case management process, which focuses on early case evaluation and case management in accordance with the litigation objectives of our clients. To that end, we have the capacity to incorporate real-time, on-line collaborative case and fee management systems. We can also provide dedicated websites which allow us to share documents and communicate with our clients.  

We understand our clients’ need for cost management. We are sensitive to the “cost curve” - expenses to settle, as well as to defend, rise over the lifetime of a case. As a result, we are open to discussing alternative fee approaches, recognizing that the goal is greater efficiency in producing legal work that meets our clients’ objectives. Our goal is to bring matters to conclusion quickly and efficiently - whether via trial or a settlement - and to do so in a cost-effective manner for our clients.
