The lawyers of Belasco Jacobs & Townsley, LLP represent both plaintiffs and defendants in intellectual property litigation matters. Our representation includes actions based on both the basic rights themselves (patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, and acts of unfair competition involving Intellectual Property), and agreements or contracts (licenses) relating to such rights.
Because of the substantial expense of any litigation involving intellectual property, there is almost always an economic endurance dimension to litigation in this area. This is balanced against the significance of the business interest that is involved in the litigation. Partly because of this balancing, most Intellectual Property litigation is settled before it reaches the trial stage. We are always mindful that there are business interests and objectives in almost every litigation, and we strive to achieve an outcome that is consistent with the business considerations. Belasco Jacobs & Townsley, LLP conducts litigation before State and Federal Courts and has participated in many patent, trademark and copyright litigation matters, including jury trials. We also represent clients before the administrative tribunals within the Patent and Trademark Office in opposition, cancellation and intra-office appeals. These proceedings are often adversarial in nature and follow many of the Federal Court litigation rules.
