Providing comprehensive solutions for the acquisition, enforcement and protection of IP.
Clients trust us to protect their most important intellectual property matters.

Clients in need of copyright and trademark protection depend on our skilled litigators and IP lawyers with a proven record of success. Technology companies bring us cutting-edge and novel copyright protection matters centered on the dissemination and transmission of copyrighted works and content. Clients in the entertainment industry rely on our guidance on critical issues surrounding copyright protection for movies, television, music and other art forms, and we also work with fashion and consumer goods companies on protecting and enforcing their copyrights. 

Clients seek our help with the strategic selection, registration, management, enforcement and defense of trademark, trade dress and domain name rights—often their most valuable assets. Local and global brands rely on us to protect them from infringement and dilution by guarding their assets from competitors who aim to weaken their names. We also offer strategies to minimize risk of liability for trademark infringement and have successfully defended many companies in litigation against parties seeking to overreach with allegations of trademark or trade dress infringement, domain name misuse or cybersquatting. We consider not only potential infringement of third-party rights, but also whether a potential name or trademark can be registered and provide clients with the desired exclusivity and global market impact. Clients looking to prevent third-party misappropriation of trademarks and names depend on us to oppose registrations and seek cancellations of existing registrations, and to defend their trademarks in proceedings in the US Patent and Trademark Office, under the Madrid Protocol and before national and regional patent and trademark offices.

The firm and Chair of its Appellate Practice Group, Seth Waxman, received the Supreme Court Milestone Case of the Year award for the successful representation of POM in POM Wonderful v. Coca-Cola.

The firm was also shortlisted—both nationally and in the northeast—as one of the Patent Contentious Firms of the Year, as well as among the Copyright Northeast Firms of the Year, and the Pharma IP Litigation Firms of the Year. In addition, three outstanding WilmerHale partners received individual recognition on the Managing IP shortlist: David Cavanaugh for the US PTAB Practitioner of the Year; Bill Lee for Massachusetts IP Litigator of the Year, and Seth Waxman for DC IP Litigator of the Year.
