Intellectual Property Litigation

We seek creative solutions where negotiating a favorable resolution is possible. We staff leanly and partner closely with inside counsel. And we stay resolutely focused on achieving the outcome that best aligns with our clients’ business needs.

Our clients span a broad range of industries: from entertainment and media, to technology, software and electronics, to fashion and luxury goods, as well as food and beverage, hospitality, communications, consumer products, financial services, and life sciences. What these clients have in common is that intellectual property is their life blood, and we’re proud that they entrust us with its protection. As a result of our clients’ success, we have twice in recent years been named national Law Firm of the Year in copyright law by Best Lawyers and U.S. News. We are also consistently ranked as one of the country’s best firms for trademark law and litigation by World Trademark Review.

The geography of our offices—located in the technology corridors of Seattle, the Bay Area, and D.C./Northern Virginia, and in the media/entertainment/fashion centers of New York and Los Angeles—gives us a broad platform for litigation and helps keep us consistently steeped in cutting-edge issues. With powerful resources on both coasts, we have the depth to litigate very large cases—in every forum, including the Supreme Court—on the accelerated schedules that intellectual property conflicts often require.
