Intellectual Property and Unfair Competition

Though many law firms have in recent years recast themselves as intellectual property lawyers, the expertise at Baute Crochetiere & Maloney in the areas of trademark, copyright and related claims is real. For example, the firm represents Symantec Corporation in enforcing its trademarks and copyrights on Norton brand software. The firm also has represented Roxio in connection with its acquisition and follow-up enforcement of the Napster service mark and logo.

Our lawyers have extensive litigation and transactional experience in the areas of trademark and copyright, First Amendment, and general entertainment litigation representing motion picture production and distribution companies, software companies, educational toy manufacturers, networks and authors and publishers of literary works in both state and federal court actions. The firm has extensive experience registering trademarks at litigating challenges before the United States Patent at Trademark Office, and has both prosecuted and defended cases involving intellectual property, First Amendment at unfair competitive issues for clients including “A-list” actors and performers, clothing designers and outdoor advertising companies. This broad expertise and extensive TRO and preliminary injunction experience, both offensive and defensive, allows the firm to stand ready to provide our clients with an immediate, comprehensive and aggressive response to protect their valuable intellectual property, or to defend against infringement claims, as the needs of each case may dictate.
