Clients regularly call on us for representation in a broad range of brand-related transactions, including license, marketing, distribution, franchise or co-branding agreements. We guide clients in the preparation of trademark use guidelines for internal use and for the clients’ licensees, and in the development of procedures and best practices for identifying, securing and maintaining their trademark, trade dress and domain name rights. We represent clients in transactions involving the purchase or sale of trademarks and domain names, offer comprehensive portfolio management, and perform due diligence for buyers or sellers in connection with domestic and international mergers and acquisitions, or for financing, licensing or litigation purposes.
We also guard and enforce our clients’ rights against infringement, misappropriation, dilution, counterfeiting, cybersquatting and other deceptive trade practices. Our trademark lawyers work closely with our trial lawyers and litigators both to enforce our clients’ marks and to defend our clients against infringement claims. Our team has extensive experience handling trademark, trade dress and domain name disputes. We represent clients in state and federal court, in opposition or cancellation proceedings before the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and in domain name proceedings under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy of ICANN or other registry rules.
