Today more than ever before, U.S. Customs aggressively enforces intellectual property rights (IPR). Our firm's attorneys interface with clients to record tradenames, trademarks and copyrights with Customs. After recordation, we continue to work with Customs officials around the country to maximize protection of our clients' IPR by facilitating an exchange of relevant information regarding product development, authorized and unauthorized sources of supply, authorized licensees, etc. We can also counsel clients with regard to gray market and counterfeit products. We also defend importers against wrongful claims of infringement.
The firm assists companies by:
- Recording Trademarks and Copyrights with the Copyright Office, Patent & Trademark Office and the U.S. Customs Service.
- Working with U.S. Customs to assure maximum protection of intellectual property rights.
- Defending against the wrongful exclusion of admissible trademarked or copyrighted merchandise.
