Intellectual Property


What starts as an idea on a napkin can launch a business or transform an industry. With the right team on your side, your brand, inventions and other intangible assets can be leveraged into invaluable assets that can give you a competitive edge.

Like our clients, our strategies are innovative to help you maximize market value across the life cycle of your IP portfolio.

What happened with IP in 2025?

As we close out 2025, the intellectual property landscape continues to evolve at an accelerated pace—driven by advances in artificial intelligence, shifting USPTO leadership and policy, increased enforcement activity, and growing tension between innovation and regulation.


Our attorneys understand complex technologies, find creative solutions and strategies to protect your IP assets, and are often on the forefront of policy changes affecting IP rights. This allows us to help our clients before law is implemented and navigate the procedures once the rules are in effect.

Our team is agile and works efficiently to protect brands and inventions, mitigate exposure, and enforce your IP assets. From patents, trademarks, and copyrights to trade secret, domain name issues, licensing, and IP portfolio due diligence, we leverage our industry experience to achieve your intellectual property goals.

With mechanical, chemical, electrical, and aeronautical engineers, former USPTO examiners, former in-house counsel, proven litigators, and a trial strategist on our team, we know how to use USPTO procedures effectively and consider the interplay with subsequent enforcement to maximize value and solve problems.
