Approximately 70 Reed Smith lawyers provide sophisticated representation of our clients in securing IP rights and litigating IP disputes in courts and before governmental bodies throughout the United States and abroad.
We procure and manage patent, trademark, and copyright portfolios, and we aggressively litigate patent, trade secret, trademark, and copyright disputes, both when our clients assert their rights and when our clients are the targets of litigation.
We also represent clients in pre-litigation disputes, such as in patent assertions, as well as in licensing and other transactional matters.
We represent clients in IP matters across key industries, including the high technology sector (including electronics, computers, software, and artificial intelligence), life sciences (including scientific equipment, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals), consumer products (including luxury brands and sporting goods), energy, entertainment and media, and others.
Clients entrust us to represent them in the full spectrum of disputes, ranging from those that are vital to their very existence or the existence of one of their lines of business, down to fending off nuisance threats. Similarly, we procure and manage brand, trademark, and patent portfolios for some of the world’s largest corporations – household names – as well as those for startup companies, and everything in between.
In sum, we handle our clients’ most important matters of IP procurement, enforcement, and defense so that they can focus on their core business.
