Your intellectual property is the lifeblood of your company. At Kane Russell Coleman Logan, we understand the critical importance of protecting and defending your IP assets.

Businesses work hard to develop the ideas, designs, inventions, products, processes, and other intellectual property that allow them to be successful. Whether helping clients protect these assets by carefully negotiating and drafting agreements and other documents or by defending them with successful litigation strategies, we help ensure that our clients enjoy the full benefits of their work. Our formula for providing value that larger firms often can’t match: knowledge, experience, and focus.

Our transactional work in protecting client’s assets is informed by our attorneys’ vast litigation experience. We know where the litigation challenges and potential pitfalls lie; therefore, we know how to craft documents to make them as “bullet-proof” as possible, thus avoiding expensive and time-consuming litigation. This is protection before conflicts have a chance to arise.

The rapid pace of technological change has provided many of our clients with new opportunities, and our attorneys are here to assist with safeguarding advances in cybertechnology, internet technologies, cloud and SAAS agreements, privacy matters, terms and conditions, web scraping issues, and more. When conflicts do occur and litigation is inevitable, our courtroom experience makes us formidable advocates for our clients.

Locally, our knowledge of jurisdictions and courts gives us a tremendous advantage, but we litigate nationally, often “fighting above our weight” and winning. We regularly argue in federal courts throughout the United States and before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Because of our knowledge of the Texas Court systems, when not serving as primary counsel, we are routinely engaged as local counsel in federal and state courts throughout Texas. Our intellectual property attorneys regularly assist clients in the following areas:
