Our Intellectual Property, Entertainment, and New Media Law professionals handle the full continuum of intellectual property, technology, and entertainment litigation and transactions throughout various industries. Our lawyers have extensive expertise in copyright, trademark and trade dress, patent, Internet and digital technology, royalty disputes, trade secrets, and unfair competition, as well as in the licensing of technology and other intellectual property rights. In addition to representing institutional clients such as record companies, motion picture studios, production companies, video game publishers, industry associations, and technology and software companies, our lawyers work with subjects and acquirers of life story rights, producers, actors, writers, and directors on their various projects, and we are involved in the negotiation and documentation of all necessary agreements for these projects. Our attorneys also have negotiated and documented talent contracts, network contracts, and location agreements, among other deals. In those instances where disputes arise, we guide our clients through the process of dispute resolution, whether informally, in a mediation or arbitration, or up to and through trial.
