Intellectual Property
Wildman Harrold has a highly-sophisticated, boutique Intellectual Property practice that provides counsel and litigation services in every aspect of IP – spanning all of the traditional areas of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets – to the emerging areas of information law, including electronic transactions, privacy, data security, information technology, and advertising, marketing and promotions. Attorneys in this practice area include individuals with diverse technical backgrounds and experience. The firm combines its broad general practice with its extensive intellectual property practice to offer a variety of services to clients with intellectual property needs.
In the traditional intellectual property arena, Wildman Harrold’s practice includes all aspects of procurement and prosecution as well as complex intellectual property transfers and licensing agreements. Because we are able to work closely with our corporate, tax, litigation, and government practice groups, our clients benefit from our multidisciplinary legal and business experience. Attorneys within the group regularly work in small teams with other practice groups to handle mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, valuations and financing, and joint ventures for our clients where brands are a key part of the transaction.
In the emerging areas, Wildman Harrold has one of the nation’s premier legal practices in the areas of Data Security, Privacy and Information Law, with several nationally recognized attorneys who were among the first to practice in these evolving areas of law and remain leading authorities in their respective fields. Our clients include Fortune 50 clients in diverse industries, addressing a broad spectrum of security, privacy and compliance issues. Our experience in this area includes analyzing and anticipating the impact of key federal laws and policies, conducting internal privacy and security audits, designing workable compliance programs, and resolving civil and regulatory disputes arising from business security issues.
