Intellectual Property

Protecting innovation and defending valuable intellectual property when the stakes are high.

Who will protect what you’ve built, and take action when others cross the line?

Your intellectual property is one of your most valuable business assets, and protecting it is essential to preserving your competitive edge. Our full-service Intellectual Property Group has substantial experience in complex IP litigation, patent and trademark prosecution, and strategic portfolio management. We advise large corporations, universities, smaller businesses and individual inventors, and rights holders on portfolio strategy, due diligence, licensing, and other IP-driven business matters. Our robust team is skilled at every level with the kind of broad technical knowledge that allows us to handle the most sophisticated matters without losing sight of our clients’ business goals.

Fighting for your intellectual property on every front

We represent domestic and international clients in high-stakes intellectual property disputes in federal and state courts, before the USPTO, and in other adversarial proceedings. Our lawyers bring a practical, business-minded approach to protecting valuable innovations, brands, and creative assets when they come under threat. Whether pursuing claims or responding to them, we build focused strategies designed to safeguard our clients’ competitive position and achieve their broader business goals. Our experience includes matters involving:

  • Patents
  • Trademarks
  • Trade secrets
  • Copyrights
  • Unfair competition

High stakes IP disputes demand a decisive response

We are known as a go-to IP litigation team in Oklahoma, particularly for complex matters with a connection to our state. But our reach extends well beyond Oklahoma to Texas and across the country as we defend companies facing infringement claims and pursue enforcement when a client’s rights are at risk. We understand what is at stake in IP disputes and provide clear, reasonable advice from early case assessment through ultimate resolution.

Strengthening the patents that set you apart

Our patent lawyers combine legal judgment with scientific and industry experience across chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, petroleum engineering, energy and green energy, physics, and software and hardware engineering. That range helps us understand complex technologies and develop protection and enforcement strategies aligned with a client’s broader objectives. We also have an extensive background working effectively with universities and a strong understanding of the unique dynamics involved in protecting faculty innovations.

Protecting your brand on the global stage

We prosecute trademark applications, manage large domestic and international portfolios and handle adversarial proceedings before the USPTO and in court. Whether a client is launching a new brand, expanding into additional markets, or responding to a challenge, we provide practical guidance focused on creating and preserving long-term brand value. We pair current docketing and drafting systems with an established worldwide network of vendors and providers to manage domestic and international portfolios efficiently, with attorneys advising clients in procuring, licensing, or enforcing IP in every major region of the world.
