There are businesses, and then there are brands. In an increasingly visual and creative world, a business’s name, logo, content, and creativity can be among its most valuable assets. Whether your intellectual property is still an idea taking shape or your business has spent years building a recognizable brand, Nesenoff & Miltenberg can help identify and protect your intellectual property, manage your portfolio, position your brand for continued growth and enforce your rights when infringed upon.
Trademark Protection
Effective intellectual property protection begins well before a dispute arises. We advise clients on trademarks from beginning to end, from researching and clearing before filing, preparing and prosecuting federal trademark applications, and responding to USPTO Office Actions. Once registered, the mark is only good as its enforcement, so we offer monitoring and assist in enforcement and brand protection.
Copyrights
We counsel clients on copyright ownership and protection including registration, monitoring, and enforcement of rights in written, visual, digital, and other creative works.
Licensing & Intellectual Property Agreements
We advise businesses on agreements involving the ownership, licensing, use, and commercialization of intellectual property, helping clients protect their rights while advancing their business objectives.
Intellectual Property Disputes & Litigation
Our attorneys have represented plaintiffs and defendants in disputes involving trademarks and unfair competition, trade secrets and confidential information, intellectual property ownership, licensing relationships, counterfeit and competing products, and technology-related business conflicts.
These disputes often arise at critical moments—from the breakup of a business or departure of a key employee to the termination of a license or a dispute immediately before a product launch. We help clients assess the rights at issue, address immediate risks, and develop a strategy that protects their intellectual property while accounting for their broader business objectives.
Whether that means enforcing intellectual property rights, responding to claims of infringement or misappropriation, negotiating a resolution, or pursuing or defending litigation, we bring the same strategic, results-oriented approach that defines our broader business litigation practice.
