One of the most valuable assets of a business is its intellectual property. Brown & Kelly works with its clients to protect intellectual property assets by developing company policies and procedures and preparing business and employment agreements, including trade secret, non-competition and license agreements, to protect against the misuse of intellectual property by third parties.
Our lawyers are experienced in handling intellectual property disputes, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in claims of trademark, trade dress and copyright infringement, domain name disputes, misuse of web-based materials, breach of non-disclosure and license agreements, and misappropriation of trade secrets. Brown & Kelly also handles trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The lawyers at Brown & Kelly are also experienced in insurance coverage relating to intellectual property matters. We counsel clients on the availability of coverage and provide insurance coverage opinions involving intellectual property disputes. We represent clients in declaratory judgment actions including intellectual property claims under advertising liability coverage.
