Intellectual Property Practice

Safeguarding Your Competitive Advantage

Butzel Long has built an agile, responsive IP team that can meet the needs - and exceed the expectations - of clients ranging from high-tech startups to major international corporations across the country and around the world. We have extensive experience helping U.S. - based clients enter the global marketplace, and helping clients from other countries become established in the U.S. Our team works hand-in-hand with other Butzel Long practice groups so that our clients' intellectual property needs can be integrated with the rest of their business goals and needs.

If your business is based on the manufacture and sale of products developed by your company, or of products for which you have your own unique manufacturing processes, patent protection can prevent competitors from making or selling similar products or using similar processes.

Trademark protection can help ensure that the valuable good will associated with your goods and services stays with you - and can help you guard against counterfeit goods from overseas.

Other intangible assets can be protected via copyright, trade secret, or other means.

Our team members work together to safeguard your competitive advantage:

* We manage our clients' intellectual property portfolios, including preparing and prosecuting patent, trademark, and copyright applications, tracking renewal deadlines and fees

* We protect our clients' assets against infringement, and help our clients avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others, including aggressive and cost-effective litigation and dispute resolution when necessary

* We help our clients exploit their assets in mergers, acquisitions, and licensing

Our experience reaches across the United States and into the Pacific Rim, South America, Europe - wherever our clients' needs take us, in industries as varied as automotive, media & entertainment, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and many others.
