Disputes

Protect and defend your intellectual property rights

Intellectual property disputes come in all shapes and sizes. They can be simple and fast like an online takedown notice or more complicated and time consuming like an opposition proceeding at the trademark office. 

Enforcing intellectual property rights allows you to seize the full value of the time, money, and effort you spent building your business. Enforcement is also a tool to protect your customers and the public from harm caused by infringement. 

Defending against accusations is equally important. Whether responding to a demand letter or defending your trademark registration from cancellation, it is important to have a well executed plan to protect your business.

Whether protecting your rights or defending against an accusation, we can help you attain a favorable outcome.
