Our intellectual property and technology practice group is fully integrated with our business and corporate law group and our litigation group to provide our clients with an exceptional level and quality of service.

Our intellectual property law group provides legal advice and guidance in a number of critical areas including patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, employee agreements, licensing, litigation, financing, as well as general counsel for internet and computer industry clients. For many companies, their technology rights and/or intellectual property are their main assets and the protection of each is an essential corporate mandate.

Boylan, Brown has patent counsel on staff, as well as a well-established working relationship with the highly respected patent law firm of HULSEY Intellectual Property Lawyers, P.C., an affiliate of Osha Liang, LLP, an international intellectual property law firm. In addition, we team with patent counsel in fashioning licensing arrangements for our clients, and in both

the prosecution and defense of patent infringement actions. In that capacity, we have provided litigation services regarding patents in a variety of new and emerging technologies.

A corporate trademark represents your corporation and distinguishes you from your competitors, assists your customers in making purchasing decisions and embodies all the hard work that has gone into building your company and your corporate reputation. The intellectual property law attorneys of Boylan Brown will help you to establish, protect and enforce your trademark rights.

A copyright is a type of intellectual property instrument that protects the rights of those who own "original expressions" such as computer programs, images, literary works, music and industrial designs. The Rochester attorneys of Boylan Brown's intellectual property law group provide guidance and assistance in identifying property that requires copyright protection, obtaining copyrights and protecting copyrights.

Corporate trade secrets are those ideas, methods, designs or other confidential information that a company uses for competitive advantage. Disclosure of trade secrets can result in the loss of corporate competitive advantage and income. Boylan Brown assists in developing the internal methods, agreements and contracts that are required to protect your corporate trade secrets.

Our litigation group will prosecute or defend your trade secrets as well as your right to trade in a fair marketplace.

Employee agreements can provide the non-disclosure and non-competition protection (as well as other protections) required by today's corporations. The Rochester attorneys that make up our intellectual property and technology practice group also realize that employees create much of a company's existing intellectual property. They are an invaluable resource to the company and for that reason, employee agreements need to also motivate and retain the best human resources.

Boylan Brown's intellectual property lawyers have the experience and proven ability to design and negotiate licensing agreements that not only benefit the corporation but that protect the intellectual property, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets of the company. We recognize the need to grow and prosper and we are able to assist our clients in achieving this growth through proactive intellectual property law.

The Rochester attorneys in our business and corporate law group complement the intellectual property group and are able to provide our clients with extensive business, financing, and litigation counsel that will assist them in the creation and management of a successful company.
