Intellectual Property

Intellectual property law is complex and sometimes overlooked in a company’s overall business strategy, particularly during the start-up stage. Today, with the increased importance of the Internet and rapidly evolving technologies, your intangible assets are even more valuable and should be protected. Bingham McHale helps you ensure that your vital ideas, inventions, brands, and creations are protected.

We provide perceptive and effective counsel in many areas of domestic and foreign intellectual property law including patent, trademark, copyright, unfair competition, computer, trade secret, e-commerce and technology law. We strategically protect the things that make our clients’ businesses unique.

We help clients identify and appraise their intellectual property assets. Then we offer innovative solutions to help them form and execute a long-term, integrated approach that protects and utilizes these interests, while always staying focused on their bottom line and demonstrating continued effectiveness.

We also have extensive knowledge and experience dealing with the broader implications of intellectual property such as tax issues, labor, business planning, environmental law and more.

Our intellectual property attorneys have counseled clients, prepared and prosecuted patent and trademark applications, protected brands, defended trade secrets, litigated and settled disputes, and negotiated license agreements related to technology in many fields, including these examples:

• Automotive (mechanical, electrical, fuel, fluid, and control systems, retail sales)
• Life sciences (orthopedics, informatics, testing, sensors, pharmaceutical distribution, imaging, surgery, electronic records)
• Nanotechnology
• Electronics (power, semiconductor fabrication, cellular, sensors, RFID)
• Night vision and optics
• Software (networking, security, user interfaces, communication, learning systems, compression)
• Safety equipment
