Intellectual Property Litigation
Protecting intellectual property is complex because trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and proprietary information carry tremendous commercial value. When infringement, misuse or misappropriation occur, it threatens brands, reputations and bottom lines. We work with market leaders whose names, trade dress, trademarks and copyrights define them.
Intellectual Property Litigation
Our clients include giants in technology, online retail and entertainment, including social media and AI content creators. They look to us to register, protect, enforce and help monetize the full value of their IP rights.
When departures of executives or partnership disputes put trade secrets and proprietary information at risk, we move quickly. Whether a preliminary injunction is needed to shut down the threat or a courtroom resolution is required, DAE uses the full range of litigation and IP enforcement techniques to keep clients’ assets secure.
