The experienced litigators at Thelen LLP stand ready to enforce our clients' IP rights and defend their access to IP-related markets. We are equally comfortable in the defense and the prosecution of cases involving patent, trademark and copyright infringement, and the misappropriation of trade secrets. We also advise and represent clients in actions involving antitrust, false advertising, and unfair competition issues.
At every stage in the value development of our clients' IP portfolios, Thelen provides forward-looking counsel designed to anticipate the possible need for litigation to assert and enforce their rights or defend against infringement claims. We assist our clients in developing effective litigation strategies, or in exploring options for alternative dispute resolution, as best befits their needs and business goals.
Thelen's attorneys have extensive trial experience, with an impressive record of success in both bench and jury trials and in alternative dispute resolution forums. We represent clients in federal and state courts throughout the United States (at the trial level and on appeal), we supervise foreign counsel, when needed, and appear in U.S. and international arbitration proceedings before the American Arbitration Association, the International Chamber of Commerce, and other bodies.
