About

Provided by Hinckley Allen

Intellectual property is often a company's most competitively sensitive asset, and protecting it demands counsel that understands both the law and the business behind it. Hinckley Allen's Intellectual Property team serves individual entrepreneurs and large corporations alike, helping clients protect, manage, and strategically leverage their IP portfolios across domestic and international markets.

The team integrates seamlessly with the firm's broader capabilities, including corporate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, technology transfers, and commercial agreements, ensuring that IP strategy is developed in alignment with business goals.

When disputes arise, the team brings extensive litigation experience across patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright matters in courts throughout the United States. The approach is deliberate: understanding the risks, costs, and potential outcomes, and litigating only when it serves the client's broader objectives.

Services span the full range of IP needs, including:

  • Patent and trademark litigation
  • IP licensing and technology agreements
  • Trade secrets protection
  • Domain names and online brand protection
  • Corporate transactions and IP due diligence

The goal is always the same: protect what matters, and position clients to grow.
