Overview
In today's highly competitive, knowledge-based economy, a company's IP strategy is the driver of business success. Your company's intellectual property protects its investments in technology and allows you to build market advantage. Increasingly, legal disputes over the ownership and breadth of patent rights are among the most important issues faced by companies competing in the global marketplace.
To assure prompt, efficient and effective resolution of disputes, our intellectual property litigation lawyers and scientists work as a team to advocate your interests in U.S. and foreign courts, in arbitration arbitral proceedings, in the International Trade Commission, and in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Foley Hoag also manages global patent litigation in multiple foreign jurisdictions.
As a top law firm with offices in Boston, New York, Paris and Washington D.C., Foley Hoag litigates intellectual property disputes for our clients in a wide variety of complex technical fields, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics, computer electronics and software, cellular telephones, Internet search engines and novel business methods.

Whether your goal is enforcing your intellectual property rights against competitors, resolving inventorship disputes, or defending against overreaching infringement claims, we focus on your business objectives. Foley Hoag will advocate on your behalf as though they were our own.
