Bradley Arant Boult Cummings realizes that Intellectual Property litigation hits at the core of a client’s business, and success is often key to a company’s survival. Clients count on our experienced team of litigators to help protect and defend their valuable Intellectual Property rights. Our litigators work tirelessly to secure the best possible results, by working proactively with our clients to identify potential intellectual property disputes and by developing a strategy for an early-stage resolution.
We have tried many of the leading cases in the Southeast, and we have a strong national IP litigation practice. The Firm’s Intellectual Property litigation matters include a wide variety of patent infringement, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and trade secret misappropriation cases. Our litigation practice extends from local and state courts, to federal courts all across the country. The Firm’s Intellectual Property litigation practice also extends to various administrative tribunals, including the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences for United States Patent and Trademark Office inter partes proceedings. The firm also handles various disputes in other tribunals, for example, ICANN or WIPO domain name disputes.
In addition to the core intellectual property assets, our lawyers have defended clients in state and federal courts against claims alleging unfair competition; breaches of covenants not to compete; violations of federal and state consumer privacy laws, including data security and regulatory compliance; employee privacy; and web site and online privacy issues.
