Overview
Harness IP helps market leaders procure and enforce intellectual property rights on a global scale. We have decades-long relationships with local counsel in most international jurisdictions, giving our clients the advantage when IP rights need to be secured and enforced both quickly and efficiently. Clients further appreciate that our attorneys work diligently to stay ahead of changing IP laws and develop strategies that place our clients in a position to succeed in the global economy.
Patents, trademarks, service marks and copyrights have emerged as international currency and legal tender in today’s global economy. Valuable and often extensive intellectual property portfolios continue to define global market leaders. As a result, the need to license, manage and enforce intellectual property rights around the world has become critical in today’s multinational commercial environment.
Because national and international laws pertaining to intellectual property continue to evolve and develop at an accelerated pace, Harness IP’s International team works diligently with a global clientele to analyze how regulations are changing, as well as posture clients in an advantageous position going forward. We deliver global solutions when it comes to securing and enforcing intellectual property rights. Our global clientele yields from such industries as telecommunications, technology, business solutions, manufacturing and publishing, among many others. Our International team is involved in:
- Patent and trademark selection, prosecution and registration in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions
- Mitigating and fighting product counterfeiting and trade secret theft
- Enforcing patent, trademark and copyright infringements in domestic and international tribunals
- Negotiating and successfully closing cross border agreements involving IP
- Advising on worldwide branding programs and managing extensive portfolios of patents, trademarks, service marks and copyrights
Harness IP delivers IP services throughout the world. Our lawyers routinely travel to Europe, Asia, South America and other parts of the globe to meet with international clients to better understand their businesses and help them in securing valuable protection for their technology and innovations. Because we have been around so long, we have tremendous connections throughout the world. We know local counsel in foreign jurisdictions personally, so we can turn high quality work around both quickly and efficiently.
We are very, very good at being responsive. International intellectual property law is competitive, and so is our cost structure. We are one of the largest and most prominent IP firms in the United States. As a result, we have both the expertise and active relationships required to conduct IP driven business internationally. In addition, we are flexible. Each client and corporation employs their own often unique management process. We are particularly accommodating to each client’s specific procedures, in part, because of our large, experienced and well-trained staff. Our ability to mesh with our clients, no matter how culturally diverse, is second to none.
