Intellectual Property
Lowis & Gellen draws from the combined expertise and talents
of both its litigation and transactional groups, and their wide array of
educational and business backgrounds, to serve its clients’ varied Intellectual
Property needs. Our clients include national and international corporations
engaged in diverse industries like biotechnology, food manufacturing and distribution,
computer sales, computer software design and implementation, home furnishings,
clothing and apparel, product packaging, heavy equipment rental, sales and servicing,
automotive sales, luxury powerboat manufacturing and sales, metal plating, sunglass
manufacturing and sales, cosmetic surgery, banking and financial services and insurance.
Lowis & Gellen’s intellectual property attorneys have also represented major universities,
non-profit institutions, municipalities, hospitals and professional groups.
The Firm has performed a broad spectrum of services for these clients, including:
litigating copyright, trademark, trade dress, unfair competition, trade secrets
and restrictive covenant disputes in state and federal court; prosecuting
and opposing trademark applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board; prosecuting copyright registrations before
the Copyright Office; negotiating intellectual property assignments, licenses and
co-existence agreements; negotiating franchise agreements; and developing programs
to protect intellectual property, including the drafting of policy and procedure manuals,
confidentiality agreements, work-for-hire agreements and non-solicitation and non-competition
agreements. Our combination of litigation and transaction expertise allows us to formulate
and execute integrated strategies to protect our clients’ intellectual property, chief among
them avoiding and/or minimizing infringement claims. When litigation becomes necessary,
however, our experience in obtaining preliminary injunctions and other emergency relief is
second to none; and we have taken numerous cases to verdict before judges and juries in state
and federal courts throughout the country.
