Intellectual Property
Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West have become highly visible focal points for intellectual property development, investment, and operations. These valuable assets are critical for evolving technologies and are often the cornerstones of value in our clients' businesses.
We review and advise our clients regarding the appropriateness in each instance of registration and maintenance of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, mask  works, and other intellectual property rights and we prepare the necessary documents in this regard.
We also are involved in a wide variety of intellectual property transactions in Colorado and around the world, including licenses and joint ventures, development agreements, OEM and VAR relationships, technology transfers and CRADAs, assignments, distribution agreements, letters of credit, and sales.
Throughout the United States we have litigated intellectual property law issues including copyright and trademark infringement, trade secret theft, unfair competition, and contractual disputes. However, we stress litigation avoidance and conduct in-house liability avoidance programs and procedure audits for our clients. In addition, we actively promote alternative dispute resolution procedures including mediation, arbitration, and settlements.
Our intellectual property clients include major investors, software publishers and developers, systems developers and integrators, institutional technology users, e-commerce and telecommunication businesses, biotechnology and medical device manufacturers, and many other companies which recognize the value which intellectual property has come to represent in American business today.
