Commercial litigation often involves matters related to intellectual property, including claims grounded in intellectual property law. The Intellectual Property Law Group at Crain Caton & James works in close coordination with the attorneys in the firm’s Commercial Litigation Practice Group to uphold and defend their clients’ rights. This includes ensuring that clients can lawfully practice their inventions, enforce patent rights, and foster fair competition in the marketplace—particularly by deterring improper actions by competitors. These joint efforts may also include steps to protect trade secrets, guard against overly broad claims made by competitors, and address issues of copyright protection. The success of Crain Caton & James’s clients in these matters is a direct result of the collaborative efforts between the firm’s intellectual property attorneys and its commercial litigators, working together to resolve complex disputes and protect their clients’ business interests.
