IP Practice

LL&A has substantial experience in all aspects of intellectual property law and our practice is mature and well-rounded.  LL&A’s patent procurement practice is diverse, including US and international patent acquisition in all technology areas.  Patent procurement and related counseling comprises about 40% of LL&A’s practice and we have invested in the best infrastructure available to support efficient, effective management of this work. 

LL&A’s IP litigation practice comprises about 30% of LL&A’s work.  LL&A attorneys are called on to litigate matters all across the country (handling cases in Delaware, Massachusetts and New York; Florida and North Carolina; Missouri and Illinois; and on to California, Washington and Oregon) and have often been called on to take over on-going patent cases from less experienced (or less effective) counsel. 

The remainder of LL&A’s practice is a broad mix of trademark, transactional and client counseling.  LL&A’s trademark practice is both broad (from clearance, through registration and litigation) and international.  LL&A has also been called on to draft and negotiate all forms of intellectual property-related agreements and to run the intellectual property diligence process for potential acquisitions, venture-funding and initial public offerings.  LL&A is frequently called on to clear new products and to evaluate and render opinions on potential infringement issues.
