Intellectual property rights are enforced with in-depth knowledge of patent, trademark, PVP and Plant Breeders Rights. Plant and seed industry knowledge is critical to fully understand the facts, the industry, and how they interact with the various laws and statutes.

Disputes over these rights are resolved using negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

We handle contested matters in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office including Patent Reexaminations and Interferences, and Trademark Opposition Cancellation Proceedings. 

We also assist with worldwide patent, UPOV, CPVR and trademark issues and enforcement.
