We Defend Intellectual Property Rights
For an individual or a small business, intellectual property can be the foundation for a profitable business or a lucrative career. Inventions, scripts, books, designs, software are often the result of long days, months and years of hard work.
When patents are ignored, when copyrights are infringed, when companies get ahead by unfair means, the IP litigation lawyers at Girardi | Keese have the resources and experience to defend intellectual property.
Our IP trial lawyers are available on a contingency basis.
Girardi | Keese is among a very few law firms that can and will take IP cases on contingency. For more than 40 years, we have provided a voice for individuals and small businesses against the illegal actions of big corporations.
