Intellectual Property

A company’s name, brand and goodwill are among its most important assets. Enhancing their value and assuring their protection are often critical to a business’ success. 

Applying decades of experience and creativity, Best Best & Krieger LLP’s intellectual property attorneys assert, defend and effectively resolve patent, copyright and trademark infringement claims and related matters in and out of court. From cease and desist letters through aggressive litigation, we protect our clients’ goodwill, brands and valuable IP and often find ways to defuse claims without resorting to litigation. 

Our attorneys help clients secure, optimize, leverage and protect their IP assets. We handle trademark and copyright registrations, renewals, oppositions and cancellations, and advise on IP development, acquisition, sale, licensing and use. We also help clients establish best practices to protect IP and prevent unfair competition and improper use of trade secrets and other proprietary information.
