Intellectual Property

With 100+ lawyers and practitioners across 18 US offices, Dentons’ IP group provides clients with the full spectrum of IP services relating to patent, trademark and copyright registration, enforcement and licensing.

Dentons works with companies, inventors and universities to secure patent rights in the US and globally. More than 75 team members have advanced science degrees (including 20+ PhDs) or practical industrial experience in patent-heavy areas like electrical engineering, computer science and biological sciences. Over 80 members of the team are USPTO-registered. The group's collective knowledge and real-world experience enhance the success rate of non-infringement and invalidity issues in litigation.

Dentons handles complex IP disputes for and against the world’s largest companies, but we also represent small companies, inventors and IP rights holders seeking to enforce or defend against infringement of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights. Our trial lawyers possess a mastery of courtroom strategy and, for patent cases, the technology at issue. We’ve successfully handled many complex post-grant, inter partes and covered business method reviews before the USPTO drawing on our unique blend of patent prosecution and litigation experience.

We also design comprehensive strategies for trademark and copyright clearance, registration and portfolio management; protection and monetization in various industries, including retail, entertainment and financial services.
