McDowell Knight represents a variety of local, national, and global businesses. Often, particularly in this technological age, it is necessary for our clients to take steps to protect their brands against unfair competition.

To that end, our firm handles registration of client business logos and marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and offers counseling to guard against infringement and dilution.

Our attorneys also have experience in handling trademark disputes, protection of trade secrets, enforcement of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, and false advertising claims.

Because the ultimate goal in these matters is to avoid conflict, it is invaluable to have skilled legal representation on your side to inform business decisions and to communicate with competitors in an effort to reach an expedient and beneficial resolution.

When a dispute does arise, however, it often requires urgency. In these cases, our lawyers’ existing knowledge base of legal procedures and long-standing experience obtaining preliminary relief, such as temporary restraining orders and injunctions, are instrumental in meeting our clients’ intellectual property needs.
