| The firm
has substantial motion practice and trial experience in numerous
Federal District Courts and Courts of Appeal, including the
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Our litigation expertise
is not limited to disputes over the infringement of patents,
trademarks, and copyrights, but also includes the protection
of trade secrets, as well as the unfair competition and antitrust
issues so frequently intertwined with intellectual property
matters.
The firm often settles cases before lengthy and protracted court proceedings.
However, when litigating to conclusion is necessary, Ward & Olivo has
been very successful at bringing the infringement, abuse and misappropriation
of our clients' intellectual property to a screeching halt. A large part
of the firm's practice is defending our clients against charges of infringement
from others.
| The firm's
practice is evenly divided between cases where we serve as
principal litigation counsel and cases where we are retained
by larger firms to provide patent expertise in support of the
defense or opinions of non-infringement and invalidity. We
are the go-to firm for many of the biggest firms in the country
when they require these services.
Ward & Olivo offers full and partial contingent fee
arrangements in appropriate cases for clients who wish to
partner even more closely with the firm in enforcing their
rights. The firm's contingent fee litigation practice is
both meant to give small companies and individuals the opportunity
to enforce their rights, while affording well-financed entities
the chance to monetize their intellectual property assets
in a way that minimizes the financial impact of litigation
expenses. |
