We partner with clients to develop global strategies and programs to safeguard and maximize the value of their intellectual property, and to audit their intellectual property assets, including domestic and international licensing and transfers of technology, to ensure that these assets are correctly identified and properly protected. We manage our clients' intellectual property portfolios, including registration and enforcement of patents, trademarks and copyrights worldwide, and administration of intellectual property agreements. Additionally, we have considerable experience representing clients in high-profile lawsuits when their most valuable intellectual property is at stake.
