Intellectual Property

Caldwell's Intellectual Property department helps innovators build, protect, enforce, and monetize intellectual property. The team advises startups, public companies, investors, and multinational enterprises across the full IP lifecycle, including patent and trademark prosecution, portfolio management, licensing, commercialization, litigation, due diligence, and IP-backed financing.

The practice has particular strength in software and artificial intelligence, healthcare and digital health, life sciences, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, fintech, consumer products, and logistics. Caldwell builds strategic intellectual property portfolios that help companies strengthen valuations, attract investment, support fundraising, secure government funding, facilitate transactions, and accelerate commercialization. The firm has advised on more than $45 billion in IP-driven transactions and is known for aligning intellectual property strategy with broader business objectives.

The department represents clients in complex intellectual property disputes in federal courts, before the USPTO, and in other high-stakes proceedings, developing litigation and enforcement strategies that protect both intellectual property rights and enterprise value. With experience managing patent and trademark portfolios across North America, Europe, and Asia, Caldwell combines technical depth and commercial insight to help clients protect innovation, unlock value, and compete on a global scale.
