Bernstein Shur's Intellectual Property and Technology Practice Group focuses a wide range of expertise on the development, protection, and licensing of intellectual property rights and the evolving legal issues surrounding today’s developing business and consumer technologies.

The business side of the group’s practice covers all issues related to technology commercialization and the growth and funding of early stage technology companies. Specific services include: filing and licensing of trademarks, service marks, and copyrights, patent licensing, technology/IP development agreements, distribution and reseller agreements, and joint venture arrangements.

The group's litigation attorneys represent clients in courts throughout the United States — including the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office — in cases involving patent infringement, trademark, trade dress infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair competition.

From development to licensing to litigation, group members have the depth of expertise needed to help clients create, manage, and protect their intellectual property assets.
