About
Provided by Irell & Manella LLP
For more than 40 years, Irell's Intellectual Property Litigation practice has delivered exceptional results for plaintiffs and defendants in complex intellectual property disputes. Our experience includes patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition and antitrust issues. We are also brought in to resolve significant commercial disputes involving technology.
Our team helps industry leaders, startups, leading academic institutions and multinational biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies solve their most challenging problems. Many of our litigators have advanced technical degrees and professional experience in private industry, and all of them boast extraordinary academic records. We work collectively to solve the kinds of problems other firms can’t solve, and we draw upon the minds of our entire group—including associates and partners—to come up with the most novel and successful approaches to legal strategy. We are often brought in to take over and turn around “unwinnable” cases after serious losses by other firms.
Our practice includes more than 20 registered patent lawyers who practice before the PTAB, representing clients in IPRs, covered business method, post-grant review and ex-parte reexamination.
We regularly represent clients in high-profile copyright and trademark litigation in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, seeking and defending temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and trials on the merits.
