When clients are facing contentious matters involving technology and intellectual property, they turn to Hughes Hubbard’s Intellectual Property & Technology team. Our priority is to achieve the most favorable outcome for our clients’ business, whether that means negotiating an early settlement, going to trial and appeal, or guiding them through complex arbitrations and mediations.

Our group is renowned for coming up with creative solutions to our clients’ problems—including, when necessary, solutions that have changed the law. Our ability to craft unique solutions, coupled with our extensive experience in a wide variety of technical fields, provides our clients with unparalleled counsel.

Our team’s adaptability and strategic thinking is the result of its diversity and deep experience. Our attorneys hail from a wide array of backgrounds and include law professors, molecular biologists, casebook co-authors, and engineers. Coupled with our strategic problem-solving, our breadth and depth of experience makes us a leader in intellectual property matters.

Patent Litigation

Hughes Hubbard’s deep bench of trial lawyers with technical backgrounds, advanced degrees, and industry experience provides the necessary insight to help clients defend against sophisticated claims in a wide range of industries and complex technologies.

We are trial lawyers who try patent infringement cases before juries, judges, and arbitrators. We represent clients in end-to-end, strategic disputes with their keenest and most aggressive competitors, and our lawyers are often called upon to right the ship in high-stakes cases. We have extensive experience trying cases in venues across the country, including district courts all over the country, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the International Trade Commission (ITC), and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

ITC Litigation

Litigation in the International Trade Commission is fast-paced, high-stakes and challenging. It’s vital that companies hire experienced ITC counsel well versed in the nuances of practicing in that venue. Our team of highly skilled litigators have been practicing in the ITC for decades, and are routinely called upon by clients to carve out a pathway to victory and navigate the pitfalls.

From pre-suit diligence through hearing, review, appeal, and post-exclusion customs work, our attorneys are experienced at every step. Our team includes lawyers who have litigated dozens of cases in the ITC, and who have been nationally recognized for their ITC litigation skills by publications such as Legal 500, Chambers, Law360, IAM Patent 1000, and Managing IP.

Trademarks

Our lawyers who specialize in trademark law, coupled with our pre-eminent litigation and corporate practices, enable us to expeditiously and efficiently obtain domestic and international trademark protection for our clients. Our trademark practice handles a portfolio of trademarks with particular emphasis on international protection for multinational businesses.  

Our attorneys are well-versed and handle all aspects of trademark law, including the selection, clearance, use and protection of service marks and trademarks; trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings; anti-counterfeiting investigation and enforcement; and trademark and trade dress infringement litigation.” 

Brand Protection and Anti-Counterfeiting

We have represented numerous clients in federal courts and International Trade Commission in connection with trademark, trade dress, unfair competition, and Lanham Act claims. Our attorneys have successfully obtained preliminary and permanent injunctions against infringers relating to the sale of goods bearing infringing marks, trade dress and packaging.

In addition, our attorneys have extensive experience working with clients to develop and implement a brand protection strategy, and coordinating a network of investigators and law enforcement to pursue individuals and entities trafficking counterfeit goods, including through online sales and under infringing domain names. We have worked with clients to devise creative strategies to combat sophisticated counterfeiters based in foreign jurisdictions, who operate in ways designed to avoid detection, with one such strategy being to work with payment service providers to prohibit the use of their services to process payments for the purchase and sale of counterfeit goods and pirated content.

Copyrights

Our attorneys offer the complete scope of services necessary for applying for, enforcing, licensing, buying and selling copyrights and copyrighted works. Our copyright practice spans the areas of literary works, music and video delivered via broadcast and cable, protection of computer software, database and information licensing, multimedia and Internet-related copyright issues, and related areas of advertising, character licensing, and rights of publicity and privacy.

We are experienced in copyright infringement litigation across various industries, including literary, artistic, musical and audiovisual works, as well as computer software and Internet-related media. Moreover, our copyright attorneys work together with our best-in-class Art Law practice group to solve our clients’ most difficult problems.

Trade Secrets

Working closely with the rest of our robust transactional practices, Hughes Hubbard represents plaintiffs and defendants in high stakes disputes as well as counseling matters to prevent the loss of proprietary information and threats to trade secrets. We work to protect, maintain, and enforce clients’ trade secret rights and to vigorously defend them against claims for trade secret misappropriation across a range of industries and technologies. Our team has handled bet-the-company trade secret misappropriation cases in a variety of courts and in arbitration, sometimes involving extremely complex technology. We also assist clients in identifying key trade secrets and putting systems in place to protect them. Whether your case involves employee theft of trade secrets, economic espionage, or defense against claims of trade secret misappropriation, our highly skilled team can help.

Technology Transactions

Our attorneys work closely with our best-in-class corporate group to handle all types of technology transactions as part of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, financing transactions, licensing, and asset purchases/sales. We have extensive experience in technology transactions ranging from biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to consumer electronics. And because our IP attorneys are also skilled, experienced litigators often called upon to resolve disputes over technology transactions, we bring that insight to bear when structuring a technology transaction.
