Much more than the province of dotcoms and e-businesses, intellectual property assets can underpin the success of clients in virtually any industry. Tonkon Torp attorneys are skilled in the law of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and patents and enjoy helping their clients develop, protect and strategically exploit those assets. Our intellectual property practice encompasses the full range of counseling and compliance services, as well as litigation expertise.

Our intellectual property counseling and transaction practice includes:
  • Identification and protection of trademarks, service marks and copyrights
  • Negotiating technology transfer and licensing agreements relating to patents, trademarks, know-how and copyrighted works
  • Negotiating software development and licensing agreements
  • Developing copyright compliance programs, including with respect to open source code

Litigation

When our clients' intellectual property rights have been infringed or trade secrets misappropriated, our experienced litigators can resolve the dispute through negotiation, litigation or arbitration. When fast action is needed, our attorneys can often secure quick injunctions to prevent the inappropriate release or use of intellectual property assets. Disputes between parties to licensing agreements often need to be resolved amicably and Tonkon Torp attorneys are adept at negotiating satisfactory settlements without compromising the business relationship. Our intellectual property litigation practice includes:
  • Patent, trademark and copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation
  • Contract and commercial disputes arising from technology transfer or licensing agreements
  • Domain name disputes nationally and internationally
