Litigation, Intellectual Property
Whether you’re protecting your IP or defending yourself from an infringement claim, a lot is riding on that litigation. Our IP litigators craft optimized litigation plans with a focus on keeping costs in check and achieving the result you need.
Summary
Whether it’s a dispute in federal, state or appellate court or before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, our Intellectual Property litigators are there to assist you. We have a deep bench of experienced attorneys with decades of experience representing a wide range of companies from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Our IP litigation attorneys act as an extension of your business to drive long-term growth. This may include developing alternative strategies to IP litigation such as structuring novel settlements, crafting dispute resolutions and engaging in quasi-litigation and administrative proceedings. You also benefit from our litigators working in tandem with our strong team of transactional IP attorneys to creatively problem-solve all aspects of your dispute. We even arbitrate before forums that decide domain name disputes, such as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), and have experience with Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) cases.
We’re there for you whether you’re the plaintiff or the defendant. For the latter, being accused of intellectual property infringement is not fun. Procopio’s IP litigators ask the key questions and take the necessary steps to best position you for success.
