Practice Areas

Protecting ideas has become essential to the mission of most successful businesses. Before litigation even begins, we advise clients regarding their intellectual property assets, including the full range of issues covered by the Lanham Act, such as false and deceptive advertising and unfair competition. When litigation becomes necessary, we have the energy and experience required to win. Although we have the depth to handle "bet-the-company" disputes, we are sufficiently nimble to keep our clients satisfied with custom-made and creative strategies for their unique issues.

Maslon has prosecuted and defended a wide range of intellectual property matters before federal and state courts, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Our Intellectual Property Litigation Team has litigated intellectual property cases on behalf of Fortune 500 companies and closely-held companies, including businesses in the medical device, processed food, agricultural, computer hardware and software industries. We have also handled litigation services in matters involving trademarks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing, computer and Internet law.

• Licensing and Royalty Disputes
