Litigation and Dispute ResolutionSince intellectual property protection can provide a limited monopoly, it leads to many disputes. Fay Sharpe litigators function solely in the world of patent, trademark, copyright and unfair competition law. Our litigators are all licensed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and have all prosecuted and procured patent protection. Bottom line: We understand Intellectual Property! Our expertise in IP and business tort laws allows us to handle litigation encompassing patent infringement or interference; trademark or service mark infringement or opposition and cancellation proceedings; deceptive business practices; copyright infringement; unfair competition; misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information; IP related anti-trust issues; license agreement and employee contract disputes and actions before the International Trade Commission. We understand our clients’ technology and the legal issues
that surround it. We provide opinions and strategies that allow our
clients to evaluate the risks, rewards and ramifications. Winning is
not everything in IP litigation – avoidance, negotiation, settlement,
licensing may all be better strategies than protracted and expensive
litigation! Our goal is to produce results that work for our clients. SAMPLE REPORTED CASES Antonious v. Spalding & Evenflo Cos., Inc., 281 F.3d 1258 (Fed. Cir. 2002) Microsoft Corp. v.
