We take an incremental approach to dispute resolution, beginning with simple negotiations between parties. Next, the situation may rise to mediation, or to a more involved formal arbitration hearing which includes the parties, their attorneys, and an impartial arbitration board. At the highest level, litigation before a court of law may be required to prevent or curtail infringement of your intellectual property or defend you from infringement charges of others.

Litigation is now a serious consideration at the Patent Office as well. We are experienced in Inter Partes Review proceedings and appeals at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and with opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
