IP Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Adams & Reese’s IP Litigation and Dispute Resolution Team combines strategic precision with creative problem-solving to deliver results that matter. We don't just follow conventional playbooks, we study the unique landscape of each case to craft tailored strategies that keep opponents off balance and position our clients for success.

We handle complex IP disputes in federal and international forums at every level. From proactive risk management through trial and appeal, we partner closely with our clients to align litigation strategy with broader business objectives, with the aim to deliver not just legal victories but lasting competitive advantages.

Our litigators bring a relentless focus on efficiency and the commercial objectives of our clients in every case, whether navigating complex patent disputes, pursuing novel copyright claims, or investigating trademark infringement and anti-counterfeiting operations across international channels.

When disputes escalate to litigation, we are known for developing innovative theories and litigation tactics that surprise opponents, shift case dynamics, and open doors to favorable outcomes our clients might not have thought possible. Whether domestic or cross-border, single-jurisdiction or multi-forum, we have the experience and global reach to manage it effectively.
