Intellectual Property: Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo

Overview

Intellectual property matters are highly complex in nature, requiring the attention of talented, experienced attorneys. Our intellectual property team possesses the expertise and legal sophistication necessary to handle even the most difficult cases.

AALRR provides advice and counsel and litigation services to businesses and individuals on a variety of intellectual property issues. Our attorneys have successfully litigated numerous intellectual property cases on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in myriad types of disputes. We proudly serve as trusted advisors to our clients on legal issues as they arise—and often before they arise. In addition, we help our clients protect and enforce their valuable intellectual property.

Trademark, Trade Dress, and Unfair Competition: Our attorneys have substantial experience protecting and enforcing clients’ valuable registered and non-registered trademarks and trade dress, as well as defending against allegations of infringement and unfair competition. We have handled a wide array of disputes, including trial and post-trial appeals. We understand the value and importance of protecting the goodwill our clients have built with their brands. Our attorneys also possess the expertise to advise and assist clients in obtaining federal and state registrations for their trademarks and trade dress.

Trade Secrets: Our attorneys understand the value of confidential and proprietary business assets and restrictive covenants. We do everything we can to safeguard and recover our clients’ intellectual property. Our attorneys regularly represent companies and individuals as both plaintiffs and defendants in trade secret disputes. Many of our representations involve employee movement between competitors. When necessary, our attorneys also work with law enforcement and private investigators in matters involving the misappropriation of trade secrets.

Copyright: We provide comprehensive advice concerning copyrights and content ownership issues, including related registration and licensing issues, as well as DMCA takedown notices. When enforcing or defending infringement claims, our attorneys aggressively protect clients’ rights and develop creative strategies to achieve clients’ objectives with the greatest efficiency possible.

Patent: Our attorneys have significant experience litigating, obtaining, prosecuting, enforcing, exploiting, and licensing patents for companies of all sizes. Whether our clients are accused of patent infringement or need to enforce their patents and protect them against infringement, we have a team of attorneys with technical backgrounds and other unique expertise who are experienced in all aspects of patent litigation.

Our attorneys are also engineers and scientists admitted to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). They have prepared and prosecuted hundreds of utility and design patent applications at the USPTO and internationally. Additionally, they advise our clients on patentability, validity, infringement, and freedom-to-operate concerns. Our team has worked with clients from virtually every industry, and no matter what technology is before us, we likely have someone who is already familiar with it.
