Thelen LLP litigation and patent attorneys have been very active in patent litigations throughout the United States, representing both patent owners and accused patent infringers. The firm's patent litigation clients range from individuals to large, international corporations.
Our extensive patent litigation experience allows us to provide clients with proactive analysis and preventive counseling. Thelen has been successful in saving many clients the time and expense of drawn-out litigation through the effective use of motions for summary judgment and injunctions against infringers, negotiations concerning cross-licensing and patent acquisitions, and by conducting Markman hearings, which can reduce the length of trial by establishing the issues in dispute beforehand.
Thelen's approach to patent litigations involves drawing on the substantial experience and skills of members of both our Commercial Litigation and Patents groups. Partners from both departments typically work together in preparing and commencing (or defending) patent infringement actions. In this manner, Thelen's clients benefit from both areas of expertise to achieve the most effective and favorable result. (See a description of Thelen's Patents practice.)
