Our Intellectual Property Practice Areas

Copyrights
Our attorneys help creators and businesses secure, license, and enforce copyright protections for original works such as software, literature, art, music, and business materials. We assist with registration, licensing agreements, and infringement disputes.

Patent Litigation
When patent rights are challenged or infringed, you need skilled litigators. We represent inventors, corporations, and institutions in patent litigation, defending innovation and pursuing enforcement actions in federal courts.

Restrictive Covenants
Protecting your business from unfair competition often requires well-drafted non-compete agreements, non-solicitation clauses, and confidentiality provisions. Our attorneys draft, review, and litigate restrictive covenants to protect your company’s intellectual capital and client relationships.

Trade Secrets
Confidential business information is one of your most valuable assets. We help clients identify, protect, and enforce trade secret rights, including litigation under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act and federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA).

Trademarks
Your brand is your identity. We guide clients through every stage of trademark law, including selection, clearance searches, registration, portfolio management, licensing, and litigation. Our attorneys work to ensure your brand is protected from misuse and infringement.
