Additional Information
If your IP is being infringed, you need to prevent adversaries from cutting into your profits and infringing on your rights. We file infringement suits (often on an expedited basis) and use our experience to stop the infringing conduct and recover monetary damages for our clients. If you find it necessary to battle claims that your products are infringing on another party’s IP, we can defend you against infringement allegations and use our experience to invalidate the asserted IP, prove non-infringement, minimize any liabilities, and/or negotiate a favorable settlement so your business may proceed.
