Synonymous with enforcement, litigation includes all manner of legal representation—for either the plaintiff or defense—necessary to ensure that patents, trademarks, copyrights, and the intellectual property they protect retain their dominion. IP litigation typically occurs in four major arenas: the U.S. District Court, which provides judicial oversight for cases related to patents, trademarks, and copyrights; the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, both of which see cases involving patents and related legal considerations; and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, which specializes in trademark-related cases. Antoinette M. Tease, PLLC has represented individuals and entities extensively in each of these arenas, handling hundreds of cases as lead counsel, including Site 2020 Inc. v. Superior Traffic Services LLC and Trebro Manufacturing, Inc. v. Firefly Equipment, LLC, both of which were successfully argued and garnered national attention.
We have worked with Toni for over a decade and have full confidence that we are always in good hands. We are grateful for her continued guidance and professionalism as we navigate an ever evolving landscape!
