We work with our clients to avoid litigation. When litigation is required, our attorneys rely upon their extensive experience in the courtroom to provide our clients vigorous and comprehensive representation. Unlike many large general practice law firms that use general litigation attorneys to handle patent litigation, all of the firm's trial attorneys are registered patent attorneys as well as engineers or scientists.
This technical expertise and knowledge assures that our trial attorneys have the unique ability to understand both the complex scientific and legal patent litigation issues. The firm capitalizes on advanced litigation technologies to manage complex patent litigation, including litigation support databases, document imaging and OCR technology.
Andrus, Sceales, Starke & Sawall's litigation experience also includes substantial involvement in appeals from judgments in all types of intellectual property matters, including extensive appellate experience before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).
Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling post-registration actions in the United States Patent & Trademark Office including trademark cancellations, oppositions, patent interferences, and reexaminations. Our unique combination of litigation and prosecution skills allows us to seamlessly represent our clients no matter when a threat to their IP rights may occur.
