Litigation Services
Sometimes, an intellectual property protection strategy requires the enforcement and defense of intellectual property rights before administrative agencies and courts. The attorneys at Roberts Mlotkowski Safran & Cole are experienced in helping clients in such instances and bring a wealth of experience to each litigation matter to ensure that clients receive cost-effective litigation assistance.

Our litigation related services included the following:
• Patents
Our lawyers have represented clients in patent disputes involving a wide variety of complex technologies, including biotechnology processes and products, business systems, computer systems and software, consumer products, and chemical processes and products. These disputes take place before the Patent Office and in U.S. federal courts.

• Trademarks
In trademark actions, our lawyers represent clients in administrative and court proceedings include prosecuting and defending oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and litigating trademark infringement and unfair competition matters in the Eastern District of Virginia and the Southern District of Texas.

• Domain Names
In domain name disputes, our attorneys represent clients before the World Intellectual Property Organization and other ICANN-approved domain name dispute providers. We also challenge cyber-squatters in federal court and seek forfeiture of domain names that are confusingly similar to trademarks in which our clients have enforceable rights.

• Copyrights
We also represent clients in the enforcement of copyright claims and in the defense of claims of infringement, in connection with computer software and a wide variety of literary, audiovisual, sound recording and other works.
