Disputes around brand, IP, and reputation move quickly and rarely come at a convenient time. We bring the judgment, preparation, and willingness to push that the situation actually calls for.
When a brand or business is in a fight, the response has to be measured, prepared, and executed without hesitation. We act as strategic counsel through the full arc. Pre-dispute risk assessment, contested proceedings before the USPTO, federal court litigation, online and marketplace enforcement, counterfeit and gray market response, and the defense of claims that are brought against our clients.
Some matters call for a quiet, surgical response. Others require a forceful one. We are comfortable with both, and we are willing to be aggressive when the facts and the client's interests support it. Our work is shaped by what the business actually needs, not by a default posture.
Every matter starts with the same question. What outcome serves the client, and what is the most direct path to it. The answer drives the strategy from the first move forward.
Oppositions, cancellations, and contested proceedings before the USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Discovery, motion practice, and trial work in the forum where many of the most consequential trademark fights are decided.
Marketplace takedowns on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and the platforms where infringers operate at scale. Social media impersonation, brand abuse programs, and the operational enforcement work behind a healthy online presence.
Federal court litigation involving trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, and related commercial and brand claims. Plaintiff and defense work, prepared from the first filing as a case that will go the distance.
Counterfeit response, gray market enforcement, customs recordations, and the coordinated programs needed to push back against unauthorized goods entering the market.
Defense of infringement claims, demand letters received, and threatened litigation. Quick assessment of exposure and a clear plan for how to respond, with the willingness to push back hard when the facts support it.
UDRP proceedings, URS filings, cybersquatting actions, and the recovery of domains that infringe on brand rights. Coordinated work where domain disputes intersect with trademark and online enforcement.
