Trademark & Copyright

Trademark and copyright assets are an often overlooked, but highly valuable, component of your IP portfolio. D&A provides worldwide, comprehensive client counseling in all areas of trademark, copyright, Internet, and false advertising law. From managing your portfolio to advising you on strategic planning issues and enforcement of brand-critical rights, we focus on protecting the unique hallmarks of your business.

To that end, we provide worldwide, comprehensive client counseling in all areas of trademark, copyright, Internet and false advertising law. Our wide-ranging copyright practice is directed to the protection of computer software, multimedia works, massage techniques, furniture designs, literary and digital works and all other aspects of copyright protection. 

Our trademark practice leverages our extensive experience in international trademark law and procedures as well as the development and management of complex, multinational portfolios. We guide leading brands with opinions on the availability of proposed marks and help clients develop a rights acquisition and enforcement strategy consistent with their budget and business plan. We provide best practices for global trademark clearance, registration and portfolio management, monitoring and enforcement, and assist clients by developing and implementing strategies to help build brand and market identities.

Above and beyond standard registration and enforcement activities, D&A’s team counsels clients with respect to international licensing programs, Internet issues, domain name administration and disputes, and infringement opinions.
