Baker & Hostetler LLP
Intellectual Property
In today's global economy, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, domain names and other intellectual property are among the most valuable assets of market leaders and rising businesses. Baker Hostetler lawyers help such companies—as well as universities, start-ups, artists, producers, and authors—to procure, protect and exploit their intellectual property (IP) rights and to avoid the pitfalls posed by third-party assertions of IP rights.
Baker Hostetler's IP team provides guidance in all phases of IP planning—from the formulation of initial strategies and “best practices†to securing IP rights, creating strategies for exploitation (licensing, joint development, etc.), litigation and other forms of dispute resolution. From aerospace technology to antiviral drugs, from software and web content to consumer goods, entertainment, advertising, cartoon character rights and financial services, we have the hands-on knowledge to help our clients secure and use IP assets for maximum competitive advantage. In thousands of proceedings spanning more than 100 countries, we protect that advantage in negotiations, at trial and through other dispute resolution proceedings.
Baker Hostetler also provides enforcement monitoring services and can provide client-specific and portfolio-specific Internet portals. These portals allow clients to easily and efficiently assess the status and value of their IP portfolio for general commercial purposes and compliance with regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
