High-Tech Companies Depend on a Credible Litigation Capability
Many of our clients have found that the threat of a lawsuit is a fact of life in today's economy. It is common for businesses in a rapidly changing field of technology to find themselves threatened with litigation arising from the patents that are generated by the innovative activities of competitors in the field, or to need a credible litigation threat in order to gain bargaining leverage in licensing negotiations with a potential infringer of patents that arise from the business’ own innovations.
We help our business clients distinguish between genuine and specious litigation threats in such industries as computers, software, semiconductors, integrated circuits, electronics, telecommunications, networking, storage systems, defense contracting, industrial applications and the Internet. We have often settled potential lawsuits by negotiating and closing license agreements on favorable terms for our clients.
In other situations, when a more proactive approach is called for, we have taken the initiative through such tactics as a declaratory judgment action to obtain leverage for our clients in an impending infringement dispute.
Although patent litigation is the most important part of our IP trial practice, we also advise and represent clients in disputes involving trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Our thorough understanding of intellectual property law and our ability to advise you on the full range of your litigation options can go far toward protecting your rights and advancing your business interests.
