About
Provided by Gray Ice Higdon
Gray Ice Higdon includes a group of highly skilled IP attorneys who focus on maximizing the value of our client’s assets. Each member of the team understands the commercial importance of a strong Intellectual Property portfolio and works, as a partner, with each client to reach this goal.
Patent Prosecution
Our patent attorneys are actively involved in Post Grant proceedings, IP Licensing Agreements, Non-Infringement and Validity opinion work and other aspects of IP portfolio maintenance and monetization.
Trademarks
Our trademark practice extends internationally with the support of a network of foreign trademark counsel throughout the world working at our direction. As a result, we routinely assist our clients with the protection and enforcement of their brands outside of the U.S.
Our trademark attorneys were invited by INTA to author the Kentucky Chapter of INTA’s authoritative treatise, State Law of Trademarks and Unfair Competition, and we have been Kentucky editors of the yearly updates to that treatise since 1989.
