Intellectual Property
At Diamond McCarthy, we know the value of intellectual property to a client’s bottom line. We help maximize the potential of this asset by acting as strong advocates so that clients can establish, protect and exploit their rights.
Our team of litigators, appellate lawyers and arbitrators help clients defend and protect a wide range of IP assets. Our representations include cases involving patents, copyrights and trademarks; trade secret ownership and misappropriation; employment agreements; unfair competition; and the many valuation and ownership issues that arise when businesses dissolve or restructure.
Our clients and cases are diverse. Our attorneys defended Samsung Electronics Company against claims of misappropriation of trade secrets and employee raiding. We helped the musical group, Dixie Chicks, pursue a trademark infringement dispute with a national greeting card company. We also defended Ball Aerospace & Technology Corp. against a competitor’s allegations that our client stole trade secrets and engaged in employee raiding. In patent infringement litigation, our lawyers have represented a wide array of businesses and institutions including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), internationally respected cardio-thoracic surgeons at New York University (NYU) and others. We often joint venture these cases with patent prosecution counsel with whom we have worked for many years.
