IP Litigation
To be effective, an intellectual property strategy must not only take into consideration the acquisition of IP rights but also, where appropriate, the enforcement of those rights against competitors. Similarly, when a business finds itself on the receiving end of a lawsuit or threatened lawsuit, it needs to call upon the necessary resources to assess its legal position and mount a robust response.
Regardless of whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant, our litigators and agents have the technical and courtroom experience that you need in order to obtain a successful outcome.
Given the cost of litigation, it is essential for a party’s legal strategy to be efficient and business focused.
