Intellectual Property

Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP’s Intellectual Property Law Department is well known for effectively protecting its clients’ trademarks, trade secrets, technology and other intellectual property rights. Our attorneys have been selected by polls of other lawyers as among the best in the field. We have years of experience providing legal services in all aspects of intellectual property law for both small and large companies — from the newest startup to huge multinationals — and relating to claims valued up to several billion dollars. ECJ has helped establish and protect our clients’ rights in marks, designs, technology and other intellectual property, for products ranging from toys to complex computer programs.

Intellectual Property Services

We counsel clients with regard to protecting new and existing intellectual property rights through any number of means, including:

  • Copyright planning and registration
  • Trademark registration and planning
  • Obtaining an invention patent
  • Licensing of technology, marks and other intellectual property
  • Trade secrets strategies, including developing employee programs and covenants not to compete
  • Strategic technology alliance arrangements
  • Patents, including planning and assistance with registration
  • Counsel on advertising matters, such as helping develop Chrysler’s “There’s Only One Jeep” campaign
  • Helping develop trade dress, such as product designs and packaging
  • Assistance with Internet matters, including domain name and trademark protection

Sometimes, litigation may be the best course of action to preserve or protect a client’s intellectual property and other rights. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants, and are involved in:

  • Enforcement programs to protect clients’ rights in their trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property, on a local, national and international basis
  • Litigation of infringement, declaratory relief and other disputes, such as a recent jury victory defending against claims totaling almost one billion dollars
  • Emergency relief, such as temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions
  • Mediation, arbitration and other non-judicial dispute resolution procedures
  • Appellate practice, protecting our clients’ rights beyond trial, such as a recent victory reversing a judgment against our client and directing a new judgment in our client’s favor
