Intellectual Property Litigation
The firm represents clients in a wide variety of matters related to enforcement of various types of intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, trade secrets, plant breeder’s rights, appellations of origin and geographical indications.
Since intellectual property rights are often the most important and valuable asset of a company, many of our clients place great care and emphasis on the strategic protection and enforcement of these rights. The members of the IP Litigation Group are experienced in providing guidance and advice as to the best and most cost-effective course to protect and enforce these valuable assets. The firm works with its clients to seek a comprehensive solution to the protection and enforcement of their intellectual property assets.
The IP Litigation Group is experienced in registering and enforcing intellectual property rights, and its members have represented international and Israeli clients (including Fortune® 500 companies) in numerous legal actions related to infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs and other rights in various courts and jurisdictions, as well as opposition and cancellation proceedings at the Israeli Patents, Designs and Trademarks Office.
