Intellectual Property

Intellectual property and technology are central to business strategy, driving innovation, competitive advantage, and long-term growth. Amundsen Davis’s IP attorneys provide strategic, business-focused counsel to individuals and companies on intellectual property matters including prosecution, transactional, and litigation services.

We work closely with clients to maximize IP investments and achieve business goals through the most viable solutions possible. Amundsen Davis’s team of intellectual property attorneys are experienced at developing tailored strategies to protect IP assets. We engage with firms around the world to extend IP protection when available.

Transactional Intellectual Property

We maximize your investment in innovation, branding, and creative expression by turning your IP assets into a clear business advantage. From initial audit and portfolio management through monetization, we negotiate IP transfers, licenses, strategic alliances, and other agreements that drive revenue. We also offer tailored training programs on enhancing brand recognition and protecting against infringement claims.

Intellectual Property Litigation

When litigation is unavoidable or the best option, we enforce and defend against patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret claims. Our team is skilled at ardently representing the best interests of clients in state courts, appellate courts, and before administrative tribunals including the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), and U.S. Patent and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Patent Prosecution

For many companies, patents are a critical component of their long-term innovation strategy and allow for competitive market positioning. Amundsen Davis’s patent lawyers have experience developing comprehensive patent strategies for individual inventors and businesses of all sizes. We prepare and prosecute domestic and international patent applications for technologies and inventions across all sectors.

Trademark Registration and Enforcement

Although often intangible, your company’s brand identity is one of its most valuable assets. Registering a distinct brand identifier as a trademark provides legal protection, preventing other companies from using the registered mark or similar. Our team works in tandem with clients on brand management and growth through trademark portfolio counseling, registration, enforcement, and prosecution.

Copyright Protection

Creative works are valuable business assets that require thoughtful protection and management. To help safeguard original works, our team assists with all aspects of copyright law. We have deep experience preparing and filing copyright applications with the U.S. Copyright Office, ensuring that registrations are accurate, enforceable, and aligned with a broader IP strategy. Our attorneys are also skilled at handling cases before the Copyright Office Review Board.

To support commercialization goals, we draft and negotiate licensing and distribution agreements that preserve ownership and control. When unauthorized use occurs, our team advises on practical enforcement options.

Trade Secrets Litigation

Protecting proprietary information helps companies maintain a competitive advantage in the market. We advise companies on sound policies and practices to protect trade secrets, including the development of employment-related procedures and drafting and negotiating nondisclosure agreements.

Client Management Philosophy

We understand the critical role of IP in our clients’ success. Always mindful of expectations for cost-effective and efficient services, we strive to exceed those expectations while optimizing benefits and reducing risk.

Your innovation is our focus.
