Whether you are trying to stop the sale and importation of counterfeit goods or the use of a domain name with your trademark, Baker Botts is the right firm for prosecuting and defending trademarks and copyrights. Baker Botts lawyers have successfully litigated trademark and copyright cases in the majority of federal district courts as well as many state courts. We have obtained prompt injunctive relief, ultimately resulting in early settlement. We have also successfully litigated cases through trial, either to a judge or jury. Our trademark group includes experienced trial lawyers who have tried more than 100 cases, both bench trials and jury trials.

Baker Botts lawyers also have significant skills and experience in handling trademark disputes in venues other than the federal and state courts. We have successfully prosecuted and defended opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In numerous Uniform Domain Name Registration Proceedings, before both the World Intellectual Property Organization and the National Arbitration Forum, we have been successful in having infringing domain name registrations transferred to our clients. We have also successfully handled trademark disputes in proceedings before the International Trade Commission and the United States Customs Service.

Our clients and litigation experience cross a broad range of industries, including financial services, computer software and hardware, residential and commercial construction, energy, furniture and home accessories, clothing, multimedia, food and beverage, and cosmetics. The types of trademark and copyright cases our attorneys handle are diverse, ranging from prosecuting infringers of very technical copyrighted works to prosecuting and defending against claims of trademark and copyright infringement or counterfeiting of consumer products imported from the Far East and elsewhere.
