Fulbright & Jaworski's Intellectual Property and Technology Practice Group encompasses one of the largest concentrations of intellectual property lawyers in the country.

Fulbright's experienced team of IP lawyers, patent agents and technical advisors helps clients obtain and protect intellectual property rights in the United States and around the world -- and accompanying this group is Fulbright's strong Patent Litigation Group.

Fulbright's IP lawyers work closely with a variety of businesses and inventors, including well-established companies, venture capital companies and emerging companies with technological assets, as well as universities and non profit organizations.

The breadth of our services is extensive, as we:

• Counsel clients about copyrights, patents, trade secrets and trademarks
• Practice before government agencies to secure those rights
• Handle arbitration, mediation and other litigation alternatives
• Negotiate licenses to maximize the value of such property
• Handle technology transfers, manufacturing and supply agreements, research and development agreements and start up agreements
• Handle intellectual property audits and due diligence, either separately or as part of mergers and acquisitions

When it becomes necessary to litigate, Fulbright's Patent Litigation Group is prepared to vigorously defend our clients' interests. With many years of experience litigating patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret matters, we are skilled in communicating complicated technical and legal issues to judges and juries at both the federal and state levels.

A number of lawyers in this group have individually tried dozens of complex cases to juries. Our group includes members of the American College of Trial Lawyers, and a number of our lawyers have clerked for federal and state judges at the trial and appellate levels. Our intensive litigation training program ensures that our clients' cases are competently and efficiently staffed at all levels.
