IP Litigation/Dispute Resolution

Jackson Walker adds value to intellectual property

Winning an IP case is the product of experience and the execution of a skillful, balanced strategy. In litigation, Jackson Walker capitalizes on its attorneys' experience in having filed and prosecuted hundreds of trademark, patent, and copyright applications. Our teams of IP attorneys and trial lawyers have litigated all types of intellectual property matters in federal and state courts across the United States, from California to Virginia, and from Illinois to Texas. Among other jurisdictions, we have significant patent litigation experience in federal civil courts of the Eastern District of Texas, one of the country's premier forums for patent disputes due to its expedited Markman Hearing Procedures.

Clients confronted with disputes involving their patents, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade secrets, or copyrights can rely on our experienced litigators to aggressively defend their interests in matters extending from infringement claims to unfair competition to disputes over commercial licensing agreements. We assist our clients in all stages of intellectual property conflicts and resolution of the conflict, from pre-litigation analysis and communications through final verdict and, if necessary, appeal.

Jackson Walker attorneys have successfully represented numerous corporations, including Fortune 500 companies, in infringement lawsuits involving intellectual property. Our experience includes successful appeals to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Our IP trial lawyers have also enforced and defended our clients' intellectual property rights in arbitrations, alternative dispute forums, and proceedings before the International Trade Commission.

We actively monitor the use of our clients' intellectual property, and we can act quickly to enforce these various rights against infringers through the effective use of temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions.

With vast experience in both prosecuting and defending litigation cases involving patents, trademarks, and copyrights, we have been successful in recovering damages and quickly obtaining injunctions for our clients. In some cases, our commercial litigation experience allows us to resolve licensing and contract disputes quickly and efficiently.
