Intellectual Property

Sklar Kirsh’s Intellectual Property attorneys advise businesses, entrepreneurs, creators and brand owners on protecting, managing and maximizing the value of their intellectual property. We approach intellectual property as a business asset, developing strategies that support clients’ broader commercial objectives.

Our attorneys counsel clients on trademark clearance and prosecution, copyright protection and international portfolio management. We manage complex trademark portfolios across multiple jurisdictions, tailoring filing and protection strategies to clients’ businesses and markets.

When disputes arise, we help clients assess risk and develop enforcement, defense and resolution strategies that account for both the legal issues and business interests at stake. To that end, we represent clients in trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition and other intellectual property litigation matters in federal court, as well as in proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Our practice also encompasses licensing, brand collaborations and related transactions involving the ownership, use and commercialization of intellectual property. We regularly work alongside the firm’s deal lawyers on complex mergers and acquisitions and real estate transactions involving significant intellectual property considerations, helping clients identify, protect and address IP assets and risks as part of broader transactions.

By integrating intellectual property strategy with our clients’ transactional and commercial objectives, we support businesses as they launch, grow, evolve and navigate complex disputes.
