Intellectual Property

The intellectual property legal landscape, both nationwide and around the world, is changing at an increasingly rapid pace.  Given the challenging economic climate in which we all operate today, businesses need to act quickly and decisively, but with foresight.  Relying on re-action rather than action is a game plan certain to make success that much more difficult to achieve.  More than ever, businesses realize the critical importance of protecting their proprietary information, the results of their research and development efforts, and their unique products, services and brands.  Given the mobility of today’s society and the ease with which proprietary and confidential information can be taken and misused by competitors, customers, or by present or former employees, businesses need to take all reasonable and cost-effective steps to protect their intellectual property and, with it, their hard-earned positions in the marketplace.

To assist clients in navigating these challenges  in a timely, well-informed and pro-active manner, Bressler, Amery & Ross provides a seasoned Intellectual Property practice that is truly national and international in scope.  Our I.P. practice offers a complete range of services for domestic and international companies seeking to protect and exploit their intellectual property.  We recognize that our clients’ patents, trademarks, business names, copyrights, proprietary technology and trade secrets are among their most valuable assets.  Realizing the full value of these assets is becoming more and more crucial.  Therefore, in addition to working to secure patents, trademarks and copyrights (throughout the United States and around the world) and instituting programs to prevent the loss of trade secrets, we assist clients in exploiting intellectual property rights through licensing, as well as joint venture and technology transfer agreements.  Our experienced litigation attorneys enforce and protect our clients’ patent, copyright and trademark rights in jurisdictions across the United States, and we also proactively counsel clients concerning the validity and valuation of intellectual property when faced with threat of infringement claims, or infringement by others.  We also have the experience to provide essential services to clients with technical assets when considering or embarking upon a wide range of transactional activities.

Perhaps most importantly, our I.P. practice is uniquely focused on providing clients not only with timely and cogent analyses, but with solutions.  It is not enough today to merely look for or be cognizant of issues.  Success is dependent on finding ways to make things work.  Although our attorneys have unmatched technical credentials and experience, they also bring a keen business sense and an appreciation of their clients’ business goals and industry issues to any situation.  Experience has proven time and again that this is what works.
