Intellectual Property Attorney

One of the most challenging areas of the law deals with intellectual property. Attorneys at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. (SHB) have an extremely successful history representing multinational and U.S. companies in intellectual property issues, including patent, trademark and copyright infringement cases.

An intellectual property attorney works to procure both domestic and foreign patent, trademark and copyright protection. Our firm maintains an active docket of cases with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in addition to managing hundreds of similar client files outside the United States. Because an intellectual property attorney is often required to work in an international forum, the access to our established a network of associate counsel in more than 80 countries makes handling national filings and patent proceedings under the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the European Patent Convention fast and easy.

Your intellectual property attorney will address ownership rights between employer and employee, as well as between businesses and their independent contractors. We also handle strategic acquisition projects involving the identification and attainment of third-party patents and applications of potential value to clients. We excel at conducting offensive reviews in order to ascertain which target products or technologies are most likely to infringe on client patent holdings.

Staffed to meet the challenges of this fast-paced area of law, our group is made up of more than 30 patent attorneys. Each intellectual property attorney has earned a Bachelor of Science degree in an area that can support intellectual property cases. Our team also consists of eight patent agents, including one former U.S. Patent and Trademark Office examiner; and five patent analysts. In addition, this practice leverages the expertise of 125 SHB analysts with advanced degrees in fields such as agriculture; biochemistry, immunochemistry and organic chemistry; electrical and mechanical engineering; pharmacology; toxicology; and computer software and hardware.
