Our Approach
As a fully committed team member, Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek helps clients avoid, anticipate and solve problems. Through proper use of product and process clearances and cost-benefit analyses, our attorneys help clients avoid unwanted disputes and expenses.
We approach matters from a practical perspective with the goal of achieving our client’s business objectives. We attempt to resolve disputes short of litigation whenever possible and appropriate. However, if litigation becomes necessary, we possess the expertise and the resources needed to vigorously press, or defend against, cases in state and federal trial and appellate courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We also have experience in courts and patent and trademark offices throughout the world through our network of Foreign Associates.
In addition, our attorneys have appeared before the PTO in interference, reissue and re-examination proceedings and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) in opposition, cancellation and concurrent use proceedings.
Our IP lawyers also work closely with WHD’s tax, venture capital, and corporate lawyers on mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and venture capital investments to identify intellectual property rights and technology aspects, and help our clients with the transfer and protection of those assets.
