Taft’s team of Intellectual Property attorneys focuses on providing comprehensive legal strategies to support clients’ needs and goals. Our group consists of more than 75 attorneys, half of whom are registered to practice before the USPTO. We are well positioned with the experience and connections to protect our clients’ IP needs.
In addition to patent, trademark, and copyright protection and litigation, our IP attorneys advise clients on trade secret protection, unfair competition, false advertising and the right of publicity. We have experience representing clients across industries, including financial services, software development, manufacturing, specialty chemicals, security, automotive, entertainment and health care.
Our attorneys assist clients in a range of traditional and innovative IP matters, from drafting licensing and development agreements and handling disputes, to assisting individuals and institutions from early research through commercialization.
While we regularly guide clients through all stages of litigation, including appeals, the goal is always to avoid and resolve potential disputes before they reach that point or, at the very least, to achieve a successful result as quickly and efficiently as possible.
