When it comes to your business, success means prioritizing growth, and your organization’s intellectual property (IP) should help drive it. We are our clients’ secret weapon in the boardroom and the courtroom for IP litigation, licensing, monetization and strategic portfolio development. Our global intellectual property practice includes more than 100 lawyers and professionals who offer a mix of business savvy and technical skills to help achieve success for our clients.
However, a return on your IP investment is hardly guaranteed these days. Product lifecycles are short, competition is fierce and reputations can be won or lost at the push of a social media button. Not to mention, an increasingly complex web of international laws and regulations, judicial decisions and new legislation poses a constant challenge.
So, whether you’re building the next iconic brand, protecting game-changing new technology or creating new revenue streams from your established IP assets, our team can help you achieve your business goals at every stage of the IP lifecycle.
