IP LITIGATION
Patent Infringement
Patents can be a company’s most valuable assets, and claims against a company for infringing another’s patent can be devastating. The stakes in a patent suit are always high and losing the suit may seriously damage a company's business.
Shore Freeman Mills has successfully asserted patent rights and defended clients against patent claims in federal courts throughout the United States, including the Northern District of California, the Eastern District of Texas, the Western District of Washington, the Western District of Texas, and the District of Guam. Our attorneys have litigated patents for industrial chemicals, telecommunications and electronics, semiconductors and semiconductor fabrication, computers and software, electronic commerce, and mechanical products.
Theft of Trade Secrets
Companies work hard to develop trade secrets, such as customer lists, formulas, and methods of business, that provide them a competitive advantage in the marketplace. In order to use those trade secrets, however, businesses must place a large amount of trust in certain employees to keep that information secret. When an employee violates that trust, it can be devastating.
Shore Freeman Mills attorneys understand this dilemma and can provide advice to help ensure that trade secrets are properly protected and seek legal remedies when they are misused or stolen.
