Intellectual Property Disputes

We are willing to assist individual inventors and small businesses in patent infringement and trade secret cases on a contingency basis. Often an individual inventor or small business is up against a large corporation with unlimited resources. Contact us about your case.

A patent infringement may occur when an individual or a company makes, uses, sells, offers to sell any patented invention within the United States or United States Territories or imports an infringing invention or its equivalent during the term of the patent. Damages that may be recovered in a patent infringement case include lost profits on sales the patent owner would have made absent the infringement or the payment of a reasonable royalty by the defendant who infringed on the patent. A court order stopping the infringing sales or production may also be obtained.

In general, trade secrets are confidential business information which provide an individual or company with a competitive edge and include manufacturing or industrial secrets and commercial secrets. The unauthorized use of such information by persons other than the trade secret holder is regarded as an unfair practice and a violation of the trade secret. The law provides for injunctive relief in the event those trade secrets are misappropriated by third parties as well as monetary damages.
