Today, more than ever before, US Customs and Border Protection aggressively enforces intellectual property rights (IPR). Our firm’s attorneys assist clients with the electronic recordation of trademarks and copyrights. After recordation, we continue to work with CBP officials around the country to maximize protection for our clients’ IPR by facilitating an exchange of relevant information regarding product features in order to help the authorities identify counterfeit and infringing products, distinguish between authorized and unauthorized sources of supply, identify authorized licensees, etc.

We also counsel clients with regard to their rights in connection with gray market products and can leverage our knowledge in this area to defend importers against wrongful claims of infringement.
