Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property practice focuses on copyright, trademark, and publicity rights, including publishing, TV & Film production and licensing. Our clients range from those exploiting rights, music producers, entertainers and authors, to celebrity estates and actors. Our litigation in this area has included numerous well publicized Lanham Act cases involving unfair competition and trademark dilution, breach of contract and copyright disputes concerning ownership, including “disguised” copyright claims and infringement claims to name only a few. Our diverse experience in the many disciplines encompassed by our intellectual property practice, routinely requires us to draw on our experience in business and contract law and extends to matters involving free speech and fair use. Our strength in this area for more than a decade allows us to deliver incomprable value and insight to our clients endeavors that is seldom found outside of national law firms.
