Practices » Intellectual Property

Most businesses get their competitive advantages from intellectual property (IP). We help you gain and protect those advantages.

We emphasize a practical approach that makes us effective at forming business strategies to defend intellectual property rights and negotiate transactions. One of our strengths is we are true commercial trial lawyers who have significant experience throughout Texas with cases that involve allegations of infringement in patents, trademarks and copyrights, and misappropriation of trade secrets.

Whether we’re litigating or structuring a transaction, we’re focused on helping you achieve your business goals.

Our Reputation in Key Courts

The Austin Division of the Western District of Texas has increasingly become one of the most important IP litigation venues in the nation, along with the Eastern District. Brown McCarroll lawyers have been actively involved in litigating infringement cases in both venues and are well known and recognized by the federal court judges who preside there. Because we are fully prepared to try cases and have a record of success with pretrial motions and trial presentations, our arguments are given respectful weight. 

Time and time again we are selected by leading national corporations to represent them in intellectual property litigation in the Western and Eastern Districts of Texas.

Global Client Ties

Intellectual property assets are of critical importance to companies worldwide.  When global businesses face infringement allegations in Texas, Brown McCarroll is often chosen to provide the defense.  We have represented clients based in Canada and throughout Europe, in infringement litigation involving everything from image processing software to protective chemical coatings.

Experience

Our intellectual property lawyers have deep experience in all areas of IP litigation. We also represent clients on both sides of technology transactions and licensing agreements, and prepare applications for copyrights and trademarks.
