Intellectual Property Litigation

Overview

The Intellectual Property Litigation attorneys at Lowenstein Sandler understand how innovation and creativity influence businesses today. Valued for providing strategic advice from a legal perspective, our lawyers help clients navigate business relationships, opportunities, and liability. When disputes arise concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, or other types of intellectual property, Lowenstein Sandler is a powerful and steady-handed partner, measuring our strength in the courtroom against alternative solutions that best serve our clients' goals and interests.

As noted by Chambers USA, our team "impresses clients with a creative approach ... accessibility and diligence." We consider how each legal matter is aligned with corporate strategy, knowing that the costs of winning a case can sometimes exceed the benefits of an amicable resolution. We have successfully litigated many types of cases to completion, including licensing disputes; patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright infringements; disputes regarding IT projects; and patent reexaminations, trademark oppositions, and cancellation proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

As an Intellectual Property Law firm we run lean, multidisciplinary teams with experience across several industries, products, and services. Many of our clients are on the leading edge of technology, including businesses in biotech and life sciences, semiconductor and LED technologies, biometrics, and software. Our patent prosecutors hold degrees in physics, chemistry, biology, electrical engineering, and mathematics, allowing key insights into the processes that create virtually every imaginable product and patentable method or process. We counsel businesses in media and safeguard the rights of professional authors, artists, and other creatives, including inventors. We provide a full range of trademark and trademark-related services to ensure the protection of valuable client products, services, and business names, symbols, slogans, domain names, and trade dress.

The IP Litigation team integrates the work of complementary practices at the firm to best serve a business. By working with colleagues focused on transactions or financing, for example, we are empowered to lend a dealmaker's perspective to litigation and a litigator's perspective to making deals. In every representation, our lawyers offer comprehensive counsel, protection, and strategic legal guidance.
