Maynard Cooper & Gale PC
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TECHNOLOGY

Maynard Cooper's Intellectual Property and Technology practice utilizes a multidisciplinary approach that combines the efforts of the firm's business and litigation attorneys in an effort to serve the needs of the firm's sophisticated business clients. The firm's practice provides comprehensive solutions to the intellectual property business challenges that face companies at all stages of growth. Businesses turn to Maynard Cooper because we combine the specialized legal and technical skills generally associated with boutique intellectual property law firms, with the business and litigation capabilities of a major general practice law firm. Like a boutique firm, Maynard Cooper regularly represents clients in matters involving patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition and intellectual property portfolio development. Unlike a boutique practice, however, we also offer interdisciplinary expertise in litigation, technology transfer and licensing, biotechnology, confidentiality and security issues, data protection, website development, sponsored and collaborative research agreements, and IP-related due diligence. Our rare combination of technological and business expertise helps clients reap the benefit of their investment in ideas.
