IP Litigation
Protect Your Rights

Patents and trademarks are not self-enforcing. If you feel another company is encroaching on your rights, you need experienced litigators to bring the infringement to a halt and recover what you are entitled to under the law. And don’t panic if you receive a cease-and-desist letter. Our team of experienced litigators is here to stand up for you to defend against infringement accusations.
What is Intellectual Property Litigation?
Intellectual property litigation involves legal disputes concerning the ownership, use, or infringement of IP rights. These cases are often complex, requiring not only a deep understanding of IP law but also significant technical knowledge and seasoned courtroom experience.
Boyle Fredrickson handles a comprehensive range of IP litigation matters, including:
- Patent Infringement: Pursuing claims against those who make, use, sell, or import products or processes covered by your patented inventions, or defending against such accusations.
- Trademark Infringement: Protecting your brand identity by stopping unauthorized use of your trademarks, service marks, trade dress, or trade names that cause confusion in the marketplace. We also defend clients facing trademark disputes.
- Copyright Infringement: Enforcing your exclusive rights over original works of authorship, such as software, music, literature, or art, and defending against claims of unauthorized reproduction or distribution.
- Trade Secret Misappropriation: Taking action against the theft, disclosure, or unauthorized use of your valuable confidential business information, or defending against alleged misappropriation.
- Unfair Competition: Addressing deceptive or misleading business practices that harm your competitive standing.
- Declaratory Judgment Actions: Proactively seeking a court ruling to clarify rights and obligations, often in response to threats of infringement litigation.
