What is Intellectual Property?
Intellectual property encompasses creations of the mind—ranging from inventions and artistic works to symbols, designs, images, and names used by individuals or businesses. These assets represent the foundation of innovation and creativity in our society.
What makes intellectual property so valuable is the significant mental effort, creativity, and skilled labor required to develop it. Because of this inherent value, no person or business should be allowed to access or use your intellectual property without proper authorization. Common types of intellectual property include copyrights, patents, franchises, trademarks, digital assets, and trade secrets—all of which our intellectual property lawyers can help you protect.
what is ip litigation?
IP litigation refers to legal actions taken when one party believes another has infringed upon their intellectual property rights. As experienced IP litigation attorneys, we understand that the primary goal of such litigation is to defend your creative works and business assets or to advance your business interests in the competitive marketplace.
THE COMMON TYPE OF IT LITIGATION CASES
The most common IP litigation cases include patent, trademark, and copyright infringement.
- Patent infringement: It involves disputes over the unauthorized use of patented technology or inventions.
- Trademark infringement: These cases arise when there’s an unauthorized use of a trademarked logo, name, or symbol that could cause confusion among consumers about the origin or quality of a product.
- Copyright infringement: Cases protect the rights of authors, musicians, and artists by addressing unauthorized reproduction or distribution of their works.
- Trade secret misappropriation: It concerns the theft or improper disclosure of confidential business information that gives a company a competitive advantage.
- Licensing disputes: These occur when there’s a disagreement over the terms under which intellectual property is licensed, potentially leading to conflicts over royalties, exclusivity, or the scope of the license agreement.
Each type of IP litigation presents its unique challenges and requires a nuanced understanding of both the law and the specific intellectual property at stake.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Being selected for an audit is arguably one of the worst things that could happen to a small business owner, or at least that’s how I felt.
It felt a lot less stressful when I hired Jess to communicate with the IRS on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of tax law was evident when she would educate not just me but also the RA on the proper law.
She went the extra mile every day – with driving to me, essentially holding my hand through an interview, and making sure all responses to the RA were effective.
If you get audited – I strongly recommend having her by your side.
– Parul G.
As a small business owner, I had an enormous amount of questions. I needed to know how to book keep, claim deductions and credits, navigate selling online, providing services in different jurisdictions, and filing quarterly taxes.
A small business requires an enormous attention to detail and Jessica helped me be meticulous in strategizing my tax landscape and know the necessary laws and regulations.
I highly recommend her to anyone with tax questions.
