The intellectual property (“IP”) team is a collection of copyright & trademark attorneys with extensive experience in trademark, copyright, trade secret matters, marketing, advertising, promotions law, competition law, franchises, privacy, the FTC, and litigation. We vigorously preserve and protect our client’s intellectual property from infringers and counterfeiters, and litigate IP theft and infringements, when necessary.
