Adams and Reese's Global IP Team is internationally renowned, earning acclaim from both clients and attorney rating services. Our expertise extends across Europe, Asia, South America, and North America, serving multinational and middle-market companies. With a focus on trademark, patent, and copyright matters, we provide strategic counsel on a wide range of intellectual property issues.
Our success often lies in mitigating risk and preventing litigation or resolving claims swiftly. In unavoidable litigation scenarios, we excel at exposing opponents' weaknesses, globalizing disputes, and reaching resolutions that favor our clients commercially.
A remarkable example of our prowess occurred when one of Singapore's largest publicly traded companies required representation in a U.S.-based trademark dispute. This bet-the-company case involved our client's brand name and multiple pending actions in 12 nations. Leveraging global strategies, we meticulously analyzed the opposing party's portfolio—a well-funded Belgian company. Our comprehensive approach proved effective, leading to a settlement before dispositive motions were necessary. As a result, our client continues to use its name, while the other company does not.
In another challenging feat, we engaged in two complex U.S. patent infringement cases, going head-to-head with a top IP law firm in the country to protect our client's patents. The case was successfully settled with a judgment in our favor, securing a total victory for our client. Our team had written and registered these patents during a decade of dedicated service.
Clients appreciate the experience and knowledge we bring to the table for sophisticated matters. Key tenets of our team's culture include a truly global perspective that creates leverage and advantages for clients, swift delivery of work that adds value, prompt responsiveness to calls and emails, and the ability to manage services effectively across practices and offices to enhance efficiencies and benefit clients.
For companies in major markets like Hong Kong, London, and New York seeking to introduce new international brands, our trademark attorneys offer valuable assistance. Leveraging years of experience, we guide these clients through the complex multinational brand-clearance process to find a unique brand name. We then register these new brands, providing clients the confidence to launch them securely.
Addressing a growing concern among global companies, we focus on recapturing sales lost to online counterfeiting and repairing brand damage caused by counterfeit products. This is an increasingly significant IP issue for many businesses. Our team has developed innovative anti-counterfeiting and anti-piracy initiatives, collaborating with clients to devise tailored enforcement solutions. These strategies go beyond mere reactive measures and effectively combat online pirates, resulting in a significant impact on our clients' bottom lines.
