Intellectual Property Litigation
Litigation Expertise That Shapes Every Strategic Decision

​At Weitzman | IP, our deep litigation background is central to how we advise clients.

​

Our seasoned IP litigators bring more than 30 years of individual experience litigating patent, trademark, and copyright disputes in federal courts nationwide, spanning both trial and appellate levels. We further represent our clients in specialized proceedings before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).

​

We proactively guide clients through potential infringement risks, including analyzing third-party infringement claims and mounting robust responses. When enforcing our clients’ intellectual property rights, we are highly adept at drafting “notice” letters and negotiating favorable resolutions to avoid the necessity of litigation.

​

We have a proven track record of achieving successful results for our clients and take pride in providing our clients with high quality, cost-effective litigation services to meet their business objectives.
