Intellectual Property Litigation
 

Litigation, arbitration and mediation are the fundamental tools for enforcing or defending the boundaries of intellectual property, and should be considered a critical part of any comprehensive intellectual property strategy. In order to meet our clients' needs in these arenas, Sheridan Ross maintains a dynamic team of experienced litigators who possess significant technical and legal expertise. Indeed, each of our litigators are licensed patent attorneys, having at least one undergraduate degree in science or engineering. When expanded technical knowledge is required, our litigators may also draw upon the broad expertise of the other disciplines represented by the other intellectual property specialists in our firm. Similarly, our litigators may draw upon the knowledge of our trademark and copyright specialists. With this breadth of experience, Sheridan Ross is ready to field a litigation team especially tailored to virtually any intellectual property dispute.

Over the past fifty years, Sheridan Ross has litigated numerous patent, trademark, trade dress and copyright infringement disputes, as well as disputes involving claims for false advertising, trade secret misappropriation, right of publicity, anti-cybersquatting and unfair competition, among other areas, and with tremendous success. We have handled cases in virtually all technical areas, including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, mechanical, computer hardware and software, Internet-based technology and telecommunications, to name a few. Our broad experience allows us to craft litigation strategies that are uniquely tailored to achieve particular client objectives. Whether the client wants aggressive action, amicable negotiation, or a combination of both, Sheridan Ross can implement litigation strategies designed to achieve those objectives in a practical and
cost-effective manner.

Sheridan Ross litigates, arbitrates and mediates cases in federal and state courts located throughout the United States. Our litigators pursue temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions when clients require immediate relief, marshal cases through trial and appeal. Our comprehensive approach has proven to reduce the costs typically associated with litigating intellectual property disputes. Sheridan Ross also routinely acts as co-counsel to other law firms seeking intellectual property litigation expertise, and as local litigation counsel for law firms located outside of Colorado.
