California Intellectual Property Law Firm

Based in Los Angeles, Miller Barondess assists clients with all aspects of intellectual property, including copyright and trademark registration, transactions, and litigation, as well as patent and trade secret litigation. Our experience encompasses numerous industries including but not limited to music, motion pictures, Internet and e-commerce, and business. We understand that a business’s intellectual property is often among its most valuable assets and work tirelessly with each client to develop and execute strategic long-term plans to maximize the value of our clients’ intellectual property and protect their rights.

Copyright

The experienced copyright attorneys at Miller Barondess assist our clients with every aspect of copyright protection, including clearing and registering copyrights, securing licensing and work-for-hire agreements, and pursuing and defending copyright litigation matters based on infringement, licensing disputes, payment of royalties, and rights ownership. We have handled cases involving major motion pictures, one of the country’s largest digital music distributors, well-known Internet companies, and have represented estates containing highly valuable copyrights.

Trademark

A business’s name, logos, symbols, tag lines, and even packaging are what distinguish it from competitors and other businesses. As such, protecting these rights can be crucial to ensuring a business’s continued profitability, good reputation, and distinctiveness in the marketplace. In addition to assisting our clients with trademark clearance and prosecution within the United States and around the world, we pursue and defend trademark infringement matters in federal court.

Patent Litigation

Patent disputes are often complex and involve millions of dollars in potential revenue. Our attorneys use their diverse expertise in intellectual property, technology, business, and litigation to represent both plaintiffs and defendants in patent infringements and have been instrumental in resolving a number of cases.

Internet Intellectual Property Matters

In today’s growing digital world, protecting and enforcing copyrights is more difficult than ever. Our experience in both intellectual property and Internet law has resulted in us developing a particular expertise in Internet-related intellectual property matters, such as domain name cybersquatting, Internet-based copyright infringement, and matters involving ICANN and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We also frequently handle trademark infringement lawsuits arising out of e-commerce activity such as search engine keyword advertising and domain names. Please see our Internet trademark infringement page for more information about these matters.

Trade Secrets
Trade secrets include any information a business’s competitors cannot easily learn from public domain sources that could help them achieve financial gain. As a result, trade secrets are often among the most valuable information a business can possess. We have a wealth of experience handling trade secret disputes and unfair competition litigation.
