Intellectual Property: Trademark, Copyright & Trade Secrets

About

Provided by Davis+Gilbert LLP

Our Intellectual Property and Media practice has for decades been on the front lines of the seismic shift from traditional to digital media. Companies look to us to understand their brands, prioritize their concerns and help them navigate the legal and regulatory risks they face.

Tending to Brands

Clients rely on us to clear and prosecute their trademarks and other IP. We help them increase the value of their brands through licensing, product placement and sponsorship agreements. We implement enforcement strategies that monitor domestic and international trademark office databases, domain name registrars and various online marketplaces to uncover instances of infringement. When infringement is detected, we take a customized approach to combating it, using every tool at our disposal, including online takedowns, cease-and-desist letters or, if needed, litigation.

Keeping Up with Entertainment and Sports

We help companies create and maintain strong connections to their audiences in the face of frequent shifts in the economic fundamentals of their businesses. Our clients depend on the protection and exploitation of their IP, and we structure deals to position them for success. 

Tackling Media Issues

We represent media companies in the protection of their content against claims of libel, slander and defamation, as well as their editorial rights under the First Amendment. We advise them on their rights and obligations regarding political speech and other political advertising.
