Dentons handles complex IP disputes for and against the world’s largest companies, but we also represent small companies, inventors and IP rights holders seeking to enforce or defend against infringement of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights. Our trial lawyers possess a mastery of courtroom strategy and, for patent cases, the technology at issue. We’ve successfully handled many complex post-grant, inter partes and covered business method reviews before the USPTO drawing on our unique blend of patent prosecution and litigation experience.
We also design comprehensive strategies for trademark and copyright clearance, registration and portfolio management; protection and monetization in various industries, including retail, entertainment and financial services.
