Intellectual Property

We have one of the largest intellectual property groups in the region available to handle a myriad of intellectual property issues. Eleven of our attorneys are registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and have a variety of science and engineering degrees. Our patent and trademark management software tracks and reports on our clients' extensive worldwide patent portfolios, containing more than 7,000 patent and trademark records.

Jones Walker's Intellectual Property practice extends well beyond the firm's geographic footprint. Our attorneys represent clients located around the country and the world. When localized representation may be advisable for clients with foreign concerns, we regularly assist in the selection and supervision of local counsel. Our locations within the Gulf South region, however, keep Jones Walker's billing rates among the most competitive in the nation.

Our practice group is well positioned to serve clients of any size, region, and industry. The professionals in our Intellectual Property practice pride themselves on turning any creative step—from oil and gas production techniques to neural networks, from architectural works to company brands—into enforceable property rights. We routinely handle transactions, filings and licensing issues for clients.
