Intellectual Property

Nearly everything an enterprise does involves intellectual property. From turning an idea into a business and choosing a name, to launching a website and licensing software, Goldberg Kohn's lawyers handle it all. 

Our Intellectual Property Group boasts transactional and litigation attorneys who help clients stake a claim, avoid conflicts and defend rights. Our team also manages due diligence inquiries in connection with the acquisition and sale of businesses. And we help our clients with each facet of their corporate identities, including trade names, logos, trade dress, domain names, social media channels and website designs.

Our attorneys assist clients in protecting and capitalizing on their trademarks, copyrights, patents, domain names and trade secrets. We regularly provide strategic counseling, clear new marks, prosecute U.S. trademark registrations, coordinate global trademark portfolios and docket clients' registrations for maintenance and renewal worldwide.
