Intellectual Property And Trade Secrets

At Cox Padmore Skolnik & Shakarchy, our intellectual property attorneys represent the interests of intellectual property (IP) holders as well as defendants’ actions involving the enforcement of restrictive agreements relating to intellectual property and trade secrets. There are various ways of protecting intellectual property through compliance with state and federal laws, and we can help you decide the best way to proceed. What we do is convince our clients of their IP value: The biggest assets a company has often are its name and goodwill. They need protection.

We also pursue and defend against claims of intellectual property violations and infringements, including claims involving software licenses, development agreements and other intellectual property-related matters in New York, New Jersey and Colorado.
