Our Approach
Your intellectual property is more than just an asset; it can be the foundation of your commercial success. It’s what differentiates you from competitors. As the owner of intellectual property, it is important to not only know what you own but understand when to act if someone infringes on your rights. When it comes to protecting your intellectual property assets, you need more than legal representation. You need a strategic advisor who understands the ins and outs of your intellectual property.
Conversely, intellectual property litigation can be expensive and cause disruptions to your operations and bottom line. In many cases, if you have been accused of infringing another’s intellectual property, the success of your business may be at stake. Our team is committed to protecting you from improper or defensible claims and will work directly with you to solve your high-stakes disputes.
Our litigators at Gray Ice Higdon, equipped with a variety of engineering, science, and technical backgrounds, as well as a wealth of business and practical experience, bring a deep understanding to your case.
Whether intervening in a dispute early with risk-avoidance strategies, negotiating commercial resolutions, or aggressively and efficiently litigating a case through jury trial and appeal, our strategic litigators work closely with you to offer creative and cost-effective solutions.
