City view from Philadelphia officeWe have been called upon by major international corporations, local technology corporations, law firms, and small, family-run businesses to obtain immediate protection from their competitors' patent, copyright and trademark infringement and from misuse of their trade secrets. We also regularly litigate patent questions as part of our practice of representing retail pharmacy chains against prescription drug manufacturers. Because of our reputation for litigation excellence, we have been routinely engaged by patent firms to represent their clients at trial.
 

We recently obtained a temporary restraining order enjoining our clients’ competitor from copying the source code, screen displays and printed circuit board design of our clients’ automotive transponder key devices and from importing any infringing devices.  We then successfully negotiated the terms of a stipulated permanent injunction and confidential settlement agreement protecting our clients’ intellectual property rights.  Other recent intellectual property cases include: 

  • successfully defending a snowplow manufacturer against claims of patent infringement;
  • representing the plaintiff, a leading interdealer bond broker, in a patent infringement lawsuit against its competitor involving our client’s patent on an electronic trading system;
  • representing a law firm in a copyright lawsuit against another firm that had copied our client’s worker’s compensation handbook word for word and published it under its own name;
  • representing two retail pharmacy chains in an antitrust case involving allegations that a pharmaceutical company had defrauded the U.S. Patent and Trademark office;
  • successfully defending a patent attorney and his law firm in a legal malpractice claim over the preparation of patent applications; and
  • obtaining injunctions against companies that were misappropriating the trade secrets and infringing the patents of our client, a concrete coloring company.
