Intellectual Property Litigation

Why Cooley

Cooley’s intellectual property litigators win cases across the US and UK. We are experienced in all types of IP cases – including patent, trademark, trade dress, trade secret, copyright and false advertising disputes, Section 337 investigations, and domain name and licensing matters. We have experience across all venues – including district and appellate courts, international arbitration forums, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the US Supreme Court. Our London-based IP team has experience in all commercial divisions of the English High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

As trial lawyers, we focus on preparing a case from beginning to end. A majority of our IP litigators have technical backgrounds in science and/or engineering, so they are adept at crafting compelling and persuasive stories about our clients’ technology. Our trial teams draw upon the experience of first-chair trial lawyers, as well as 50+ former judicial clerks and litigation support professionals with deep discovery and case management experience.

Our goal is simple: to swiftly get our clients back to business while positioning them for long-term success. And we deliver on that goal every single day. As a result, we have earned the trust of industry leaders seeking to maintain their market positions, along with high-growth companies looking to bring disruptive technologies to market. Many of the cases we litigate involve key products, technologies and brands fundamental to our clients’ businesses.
