Once you have established your IP portfolio, it is critical to fiercely defend these most valuable assets from infringement. Clients depend on CSG to help enforce, protect and expand their intellectual property rights in the courtroom and beyond – all while providing strategic counsel on the latest advancements and decisions across the dynamic IP landscape.
CSG takes pride in its ability to favorably resolve cases in the most cost-effective manner. In addition to providing pre-litigation counseling and strategy and spearheading pre-litigation enforcement efforts, we have successfully litigated intellectual property matters in state and federal courts throughout the U.S. Our experience covers a vast array of IP-related disputes, including trademark infringement, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, licensing disputes, cybersquatting, opposition and cancellation proceedings, false advertising and unfair competition cases. We have sought and obtained preliminary and permanent injunctive relief for numerous clients.
CSG’s IP attorneys are regularly called upon to help resolve trademark registration disputes before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the USPTO and represent rights holders in Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) proceedings. We also advocate for our clients, with the help of our network of foreign associates, in trademark and copyright infringement and enforcement matters around the world.
We have been successful in litigating matters for clients across a wide range of industries – including entertainment, education, food and beverage, hospitality, apparel, housewares, sporting goods, cosmetics, technology, government and non-profit.
