Find out more

LexAnalytica, PC has an active general counsel practice, helping both technology and non-technology clients on a broad range of legal matters. Our counseling practice involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes: general corporate matters, patent analysis, trademark clearance and prosecution, advertising compliance, copyright clearance and prosecution, trade secret clearance, data security and privacy compliance, and inbound and outbound licensing.

PATENTS

A patent grants an exclusive right to its owner to make, have made, use, or sell an invention for a set period of time. Inventions that are covered by patents include new designs, processes, machines, devices, or composition of matter. Patents can be a very powerful tool in protecting one’s inventions. We help our clients both enforce their patent rights against infringers, as well as defend against claims of infringement.

Business Litigation

In addition to our intellectual property focus, we also represent clients in a broad range of other business litigation. Our goal is to limit the uncertainly that is inherent in any litigation matter by exhaustively researching the law and the facts. With this firm preparation, and our years of experience, we helpguide our clients to the right litigation strategy. And because our clients are mostly technology companies, we are attuned to the special character of business disputes in the Silicon Valley. Our business litigation practice includes:

Copyright law is also critically important for the creative arts, and can be a powerful weapon to prevent unlawful copying of content on the Internet. Our copyright practice includes:

Trademark Law

Trademarks can be one of the most valuable assets of a business – particularly where a business relies heavily on its goodwill to attract and maintain customers. That is why we help our clients register, protect and enforce their trademark rights. And the fact that we are experienced trademark infringement litigators helps us provide better advice on initial registrations. Our trademark practice includes:
