We actively monitor the use of our clients' trademarks and domain names, and act quickly to enforce trademarks and copyrights against infringers through the effective use of temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. With vast experience in both prosecuting and defending litigation cases involving trademark and copyright, we have been successful in recovering substantial copyright damages and quickly obtaining trademark injunctions for our clients. Our commercial litigation experience allows us to resolve licensing and contract disputes quickly and efficiently. The attorneys in the firm's Trademark and Copyrights Litigation practice have handled scores of proceedings, bringing most of them to a successful decision or a favorable settlement.
Our attorneys are leaders in their field and regularly serve as active members of established organizations such as the International Trademark Association, the American Bar Association (IP Division), the Intellectual Property Owners Association, the Copyright Society of the USA, the New York Intellectual Property Association, and the American Intellectual Property Law Association.
