Intellectual Property Disputes

Intellectual Property Litigation Attorneys

Businesses invest huge amounts of money creating, promoting, and protecting their intellectual property such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Our lawyers aggressively represent plaintiffs and defendants in intellectual property claims involving:

  • Infringement
  • Licensing and royalty disputes
  • Trade secret litigation
  • Unfair trade competition
  • Patent interference and invalidity
  • Covenants not to compete in conjunction with sale of a business
  • Copyright renewal claims
  • Transfer of copyrights
  • Cybersquatting

At McQueen & Ashman LLP in Irvine, California, our lawyers understand that businesses need practical solutions to their intellectual property disputes, not endless years of litigation. Our lawyers will analyze whether or not you have a viable claim, do legal research as to whether your intellectual property is sustainable or whether you are infringing on somebody else's intellectual property. We will also help you develop a strategy for protecting or defending your intellectual property, which can include written communications, investigative analyses, and litigation.

In addition to representing our clients in intellectual property negotiations, mediation, arbitrations, and trials, our lawyers have a high rate of success in appeals, including a number of published opinions.

Intellectual property litigation victories

  • Our lawyers obtained a $1.4 million settlement in a patent infringement case after prevailing before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
  • We also successfully recovered several internet domain names that infringed a Southern California car dealership’s trademarks after the domain names were registered by a cybersquatter who learned of the dealership’s plans to expand. See Victories for more case examples.
