Intellectual Property

For more than 30 years, Porter Wright has offered comprehensive intellectual property services to help clients protect their invaluable creative assets. We counsel clients in applying for and protecting patents and trademarks, managing traditional and non-traditional copyright registration and enforcement, and safeguarding trade secrets.

We work across the intellectual property spectrum to maximize client profitability and deliver innovative perspectives, consulting in all aspects of strategic intellectual property needs, including portfolio development and enforcement, technology transfer and licensing, business counseling and intellectual property audits.

Our attorneys understand the complexities of shifting intellectual property law surrounding patents, a major focus of our IP practice. We have litigated patents in highly diverse technical fields involving pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, software and business methods, automobile technology, and manufacturing, among others, and trademarks, successfully steering designs and marks away from the competition. Altogether, we manage and maintain a portfolio of thousands of active patent, trademark and copyright matters on behalf of our United States and foreign clients, who include companies and foreign counsel in Asia, Europe and South America.
