Copyright & Trademark

Our lawyers have handled copyright and trademark cases both large and small, including trials that the Daily Journal recognized as top defense verdicts in 2012 (one verdict) and 2016 (two verdicts). We have litigated in trial and appellate courts, and have advised clients about reducing the risk of potential litigation. We have worked on matters touching on computer programming languages, network hardware configuration, and online use of photographs and video imagery.

We work with our clients to evaluate the risks presented by a case, including issues that our adversary might not yet have explored. We determine the key trial arguments, but also focus on issues that can dispose of a case early, whether by summary judgment or a negotiated resolution.

Throughout this process, we make sure to understand our clients’ business goals. We are focused not just on winning the immediate case, but ensuring that the outcome fits well with our clients’ business needs.
