Intellectual Property, Copyright, Trademark
Drummond Woodsum’s intellectual property law attorneys understand the significantly increased importance of intellectual property issues to our clients and in the marketplace. They provide expert counsel on copyright and trademark law, trade secrets, privacy rights, franchise law, and licensing matters. Our IP Group assists clients directly with copyright and trademark searches, registrations, and defense. They also advise on the protection of trade secrets for those businesses and individuals opting to maintain the privacy of their intellectual property.
In addition, our IP Group assists our corporate and M&A lawyers during the business transaction process, whether reviewing documentation during the critical due diligence phase of a merger or acquisition or assisting with the negotiation of licenses and other IP-related contracts. They also have extensive experience representing both franchisors and franchisees.
We emphasize a team approach, whether with the Business Services Group or our Litigation Group, to develop and protect integrated legal strategies for intellectual property fortification, exploitation, and protection for individuals and businesses of all sizes. We believe this collaborative approach offers clients the most efficient and thus cost effective expert advice, whatever might be the individual client’s needs.
