Intellectual Property Litigation
Litigation
When your business is faced with an intellectual property
dispute, whether you are plaintiff or defendant, you need
litigation counsel focused on obtaining the best possible outcome
for your case and your business goals. Emerson Thomson Bennett's
practice is focused entirely on intellectual property law, and its
attorneys have a depth of understanding and experience that
provides an edge over general practice firms. Our attorneys have
experience litigating a wide variety of complex intellectual
property law disputes in both state and federal court, and have a
proven record of providing quality representation in a
cost-efficient manner.
Trademark and Trade Practices Litigation
Our litigators represent clients in all types of trade practice
claims. We have litigated both common law and Lanham Act trademark
and service mark infringement lawsuits; trade dress disputes; trade
secrets lawsuits; domain name cyber-squatting claims; and dilution,
unfair competition and false advertising claims, in both state and
federal court. In addition, our attorneys routinely represent
clients in trademark oppositions before the Trademark Trial and
Appeal Board, and have experience in resolving internet domain name
disputes pursuant to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers' (ICANN) arbitration procedures. We also offer
representation in U.S. Customs counterfeiting cases, and any other
trade practice related case.
Patent Litigation
Emerson Thomson Bennett has extensive knowledge and experience
in complex patent litigation. Our legal team consists entirely of
registered patent attorneys whose wide range of technical expertise
and insights into United States Patent and Trademark Office
procedures provide them with a unique advantage in unpacking the
highly complex aspects of patent infringement lawsuits. Our
attorneys have successfully litigated patent infringement claims in
federal court, and are capable of providing comprehensive
litigation representation: from infringement opinions to
injunctions or temporary restraining orders, from Markman hearings
to summary judgment, from trial through appeal, our litigation team
is experienced and ready to protect your valuable patent
rights.
Copyright Litigation
Our firm has a longstanding and successful track record of
obtaining outstanding results for its copyright clients. Whether
representing the plaintiff or defendant, our litigators have
demonstrated a particularly adept understanding of the intricacies
of copyright litigation. Emerson Thomson Bennett works with its
clients to develop a comprehensive copyright protection plan that
fully evaluates its strengths and weaknesses and places your
copyrights in the best position to receive statutory damages and an
award of attorneys fees should your copyrights be threatened or
questioned and the need for litigation arise.
Fee Arrangements
Our firm is willing to consider contingent fee and hybrid
payment fee arrangements in the right circumstances.
