Intellectual Property and Technology

We help our clients protect their intellectual property rights and provide innovative counsel on complex technology matters.

What We Do

Since our days of protecting CliffsNotes® for its Lincoln, Nebraska founder our attorneys have provided effective counsel to clients in identifying and protecting their intellectual property assets.  Our attorneys are experienced in drafting contracts involving intellectual property such as copyright, trademark and patents.  When it comes to trade secrets, nondisclosure, nonsolicitation and noncompete agreements, our team understands the legal nuances and how to help our clients achieve success.  We routinely assist clients in negotiating and drafting agreements involving technology development and provide effective advice on technology protection and risk assessment.  When it becomes necessary, our litigation team vigorously protects our clients’ interest in federal and state court.  With our clients’ goals in mind, we find the way.
