HAGENS BERMAN

The intellectual property, or IP litigation, team at Hagens Berman offers representation in cases involving patent infringement, copyright and trademark violations and trade secrets misappropriation. Our team’s mission is to hold large corporations accountable for the unlawful use of information or innovations.

As a plaintiff-focused law firm, we virtually eliminate the risk of potential conflicts of interest. Firms that represent both plaintiffs and defendants may spend months working on a case, only to discover that a conflict of interest prevents them from continuing, potentially leaving a small plaintiff without representation.

With no conflicts, we are able to quickly decide whether or not to take a case and immediately move the process forward. Additionally, the firm’s flat organizational structure ensures a higher proportion of experienced, senior-level attorneys are working on cases.

We specialize in four areas of IP claims including patents, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks.

Patent Litigation

The importance of protecting the rights of a patent holder cannot be overstated. As the growth of new ideas and technologies continue to accelerate, companies often infringe on a patent in order to avoid paying its owner for the use of the technology. Our lawyers have experience working on some of the largest and most significant patent lawsuits in the United States across a wide range of technologies. We can help you unlock the value of your patent portfolio.

Trade Secrets and Confidential Information

Trade secrets and confidential information are often a company’s most valuable intellectual-property assets. Trade-secret litigation is laden with traps for the unwary, and you need experienced counsel on your side. Our attorneys have experience in helping plaintiffs whose trade secrets have been misappropriated and used by a larger competitor.

Copyright Litigation

Copyrights can be the most valuable intellectual-property asset for a small company or an individual, and copyright litigation may be the best chance to hold a large company that infringes those rights accountable. At Hagens Berman, we have experience representing plaintiffs who have had their intellectual property infringed across a wide range of copyright matters.

Trademark

We view trademark as an often-overlooked component of an intellectual-property portfolio. Our philosophy involves aggressively pursuing and enforcing trademark rights. Our trademark practice includes false advertising, trademark and Lanham Act litigation.
