Overview
Intellectual property law is vast and includes the areas of patents, licensing, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. Located in Silicon Valley, CPM represents individuals, inventors and businesses in protecting their intellectual property through prosecution and defense of these matters.
Given the escalated competitive environment caused by the rapid change in technology in the fields of semi-conductors, telecom, bio-sciences, consumer electronics, computer-science, software, business methods and medicine, the attorneys and staff at CPM pride themselves on staying abreast of these changes to best serve clients. This includes the firm actively engaging industry leaders and innovators located in the firm’s own backyard, plus speaking and publishing on the topic of intellectual property.
In addition, CPM has a sophisticated antitrust and complex business litigation expertise that complements its patent litigation and trade secret practice, especially when monopolization based on fraud (e.g. Walker Process) defenses are warranted. The expertise in these subject areas, coupled with the firm’s extensive trial experience, has provided our clients with the ability to aggressively assert their rights in the courtroom.
Our cases range from one of the first lawsuits ever filed for Internet copyright infringement in 1998, to its successful defense in trial of MP3.com, to the successful prosecution of a complex business case involving WaveWare Communications of San Diego and its groundbreaking Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology.
