Holland & Hart's Intellectual Property Litigation practice is comprised of attorneys who focus on developing strategies for enforcing and exploiting patent, trademark, copyright, trade dress, trade secret and other IP rights. Adept at mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, our trial attorneys are also equipped to try cases, with a full-sized mock courtroom, an in-house team of jury consultants, and an extensive multimedia and graphics department at our disposal. We approach IP Litigation from a standpoint of common sense and persuasiveness. We develop trial themes at the outset and focus our efforts during litigation to streamline costs and maximize the potential for early and favorable settlement.

As trial attorneys, we are prepared to litigate any dispute, but our first priority is our clients' business objectives. After a dispute arises, we move quickly to analyze the merits of the dispute, the alternative mechanisms and scenarios for resolving the dispute, as well as the costs associated with each scenario. Our clients benefit from this early analysis and can better determine whether it is in their best interest to litigate the dispute or settle the dispute in a manner that better satisfies the client's business objectives.

In addition to litigation, our IP attorneys work with clients to develop long-term strategies for developing and protecting their intellectual property and technology assets. These strategies may include: audits to identify, inventory and protect IP assets; campaigns to license IP assets and/or to acquire IP assets from third-parties; and enforcement strategies, which often include litigation on some level.

Although we are based in the Mountain West, our IP attorneys assist clients with litigation and strategy on a national scope. Our litigators have appeared in 32 U.S. District Courts and eight U.S. Circuit Appellate Courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We also regularly represent clients before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Board of Patent Interferences and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Not only is our practice national in scope, but it also has a global component. Working with hand-picked foreign law firms, we manage intellectual property litigation for our clients in countries throughout the world.
