The Intellectual Property and Technology Litigation Group advises clients on a broad range of intellectual property (IP) and technology issues confronting today’s businesses. The Group combines trial experience with a background in handling complex intellectual property disputes, including those that raise antitrust and competition law issues. The Group’s litigation work includes enforcing patents, trademarks and other IP rights and defending against claims of infringement.
The Group skillfully and clearly communicates the most complex technical issues to judges and juries. Lawyers in the IP and Technology Litigation Group have substantial experience representing clients in both bench and jury trials, and regularly appear in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
In addition to litigation and transactional work, S&C’s IP and Technology Group regularly counsel clients on a wide range of strategic and day-to-day issues associated with the development, acquisition and maintenance of intellectual property portfolios. We routinely consult on trademark clearance, brand strategy, patent pools and joint licensing programs, website policies, trade secret protection, tax planning and monetization strategies. We also assist companies in the interpretation and application of various licensing arrangements.
