Intellectual Property Claims in Los Angeles
Much of the value of any business consists of trade secrets, trademarks and intellectual property. At the law offices of Mathew & George in Los Angeles, our lawyers have extensive experience both in prosecuting and defending these claims for business throughout Southern California.
Theft of Trade Secrets
One of our clients owned a business in which the principal value of the enterprise was its customer list. The second in command copied the list, formed a competing business, then copied the company's identity from its brochures to its Web site and started calling on the same clients. The litigation was difficult, but our lawyers were able to shut down the competing business.
Other examples of stealing trade secrets and intellectual property involve the theft of a pattern in the apparel business, knocking off a brand or logo, or providing information to competing companies after signing a nondisclosure agreement.
Defending You From Trademark Infringement Claims
It's not unusual for a company to get a letter in the mail accusing them of infringement upon another business's trademark or logo. Our lawyers have been very successful in defending these lawsuits.
In most cases, some type of insurance is available to defend these claims. Our attorneys usually enter the case as an independent attorney when the business receives a "reservation of rights" letter. Our lawyers also represent businesses that do not have insurance to cover the claims.
