The Intellectual Property Practice Group’s lawyers offer strategic insights and solutions to companies facing complex intellectual property issues. We understand that such issues must be considered in the context of larger business needs and interests. We partner with our clients to develop strategies that effectively and efficiently advance and protect their interests. We have deep capabilities across all categories of IP litigation and transactional matters, including:
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s deep bench of trial lawyers with technical backgrounds, advanced degrees and industry experience provides the necessary insight to develop and defend against sophisticated claims in a wide range of industries and complex technologies.
Our litigators are recognized throughout the industry as leaders in prosecuting, defending and trying IP claims in federal and state courts, before administrative bodies including the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as well as before domestic and international arbitration panels. The intellectual property group, as well as many Gibson Dunn IP litigators, are recognized by top legal publications.
IAM Patent 2020 recognized Gibson Dunn among the top patent practices nationally and in California, New York, Texas and Washington, D.C. Managing IP Handbook, 2019 edition, recognized Gibson Dunn among the top International Trade Commission Litigation and Patent Contentious firms in the United States, and the publication recognized the firm with two awards at its Americas Awards 2020, selecting us as the United States Patent Contentious Firm of the Year and recognizing the Gibson Dunn case Rimini Street Inc. et al. v. Oracle USA Inc. as an Impact Case. Law360 named two Gibson Dunn cases, Rimini Street, and Charles v. Seinfeld et al., among its “Top 10 Copyright Rulings of 2019.” And World Trademark Review 1000 2020 recognized the firm for Enforcement and Litigation in the Washington, D.C. metro area, noting that, “[s]carcely rivalled when it comes to high-profile, big-ticket, complex litigation of any kind, Gibson Dunn brings the heat in IP infringement cases.”
Our IP litigators are also an integral part of Gibson Dunn’s Litigation practice that The American Lawyer named as a Finalist in its 2022 Litigation Department of the Year competition, noting that “when news breaks and the pressure rises, clients call Gibson Dunn’s litigators to regain control.” This award follows our unprecedented four wins in this biennial competition. In addition to trying cases, working with our renowned appellate practice places us at the forefront of IP appellate litigation including multiple representations before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit.
The lawyers of Gibson Dunn’s Intellectual Property Practice Group also provide strategic counselling on all aspects of IP transactions.
Working closely with lawyers from Gibson Dunn’s other transactional practices, we provide critical insight into the complex IP issues that are often the driving factor behind corporate deals powering the modern information economy, including in connection with mergers, acquisitions, financings, strategic alliances, joint ventures and initial public offerings. Our lawyers have extensive experience drafting and negotiating IP representations, warranties and covenants as well as licensing, cross-licensing and grant-back arrangements. Members of the group work closely with our clients’ internal business teams to analyze and provide critical thinking and advice with respect to the intellectual property owned or licensed by target companies. This serves to reveal and address material issues potentially affecting value propositions or other critical drivers of an underlying transaction, including:
Further, working with our Public Policy group, we provide critical guidance in connection with navigating the nuances inherent in legislative advocacy before the U.S. Congress and various state legislatures concerning IP issues.
