Intellectual Property

For decades, Modrall Sperling has served many individuals as well as small and large businesses to protect their valuable intellectual property assets. Our practice in the areas of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and unfair competition has involved representation of medical product and research companies, municipalities, authors, artists, video producers, software companies, product manufacturers, insurance companies, financial institutions, and trade groups, among others.

We are well-equipped to handle a broad range of matters involving trademarks and copyrights, including trademark-availability searches, registrations of trademarks at the state and federal level, copyright registrations, and trademark registration opposition and cancellation proceedings. Our experience also includes review and drafting of licensing and publishing agreements, with subjects ranging from complex software creations to written works of fiction. We also have experience with reviewing and drafting non-competition, trade secret, confidentiality and proprietary information agreements.

Of course, with our firm's experience in litigation, we also represent numerous clients in infringement and unfair competition disputes and enforcement of trade secret and non-competition agreements. We also represent clients with respect to determination of insurance coverage for infringement claims. We strive to bring a pragmatic approach to all these matters, involving the client directly with resolution of both negotiations and disputes, and working in a thorough and yet cost-effective and timely manner.
