Trademark Litigation

  | 

Overview


Businesses, and individuals, need to protect and enforce their trademark rights to maintain the integrity of their brands as well as their rights of endorsement, association and affiliation. Perkins Coie's Intellectual Property litigators regularly help our clients enforce their valuable trademark rights, and we defend our clients if questions, allegations or claims of infringement are raised against them. We have broad and deep experience in the often complicated Lanham Act and state law issues encountered in prosecuting and defending trademark actions.

Our lawyers regularly litigate trademark and trade dress infringement, dilution, unfair competition and false advertising, false association/false endorsement, domain name and other Internet-related disputes, gray market and counterfeiting claims in courts across the country. We also work to protect our clients’ trademark portfolios before the Trademark and Trial Appeal Board.

Our clients represent a broad array of industries, from technology and Internet companies such as search engines, electronic component manufacturers and video game publishers to traditional businesses such as mattress retailers and food service providers.
