Other IP Disputes

Our experienced litigators exclusively focus on technology and intellectual property disputes. Our clients benefit from this focus in the form of effective and efficient representation in complex matters.

Other IP and IP-Related
Business Disputes

At Klarquist, we handle intellectual property disputes that extend beyond patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Many of the most important IP-related conflicts arise in adjacent areas, including unfair competition, false advertising, ownership and assignment disputes, licensing conflicts, and disputes involving domain names and online use. Our litigation team approaches these matters with the same strategic discipline and technical sophistication we bring to our broader IP practice.

These disputes often turn on more than a single legal claim. A disagreement over a product launch may involve false advertising, unfair competition, and ownership or licensing issues all at once. A conflict involving digital assets or online branding may raise domain name questions, platform-use issues, and broader business concerns that affect market position and customer relationships. Because our practice is focused on intellectual property and technology, we help clients address these matters in a way that is legally sound and commercially practical.

Our experience includes representing clients in unfair competition matters and other business disputes tied closely to intellectual property rights. Klarquist’s litigators have handled unfair competition actions in federal courts nationwide, and our lawyers also advise on intellectual property licensing, due diligence, and related disputes. That broader perspective allows us to see how contract rights, ownership questions, and competitive conduct fit into a client’s overall IP strategy, not just a single case.

We also bring meaningful experience in disputes involving online conduct and marketplace behavior. Klarquist’s trademark and online enforcement work includes disputes involving domain names, social media, and other online uses of intellectual property, and our attorneys have handled domain name disputes under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. We have also achieved significant results in false advertising litigation, including a substantial jury verdict for a client harmed by a competitor’s false claims.

For clients facing IP-related disputes outside the traditional categories, we offer focused advice, efficient litigation strategy, and a practical understanding of how these disputes affect business operations, product positioning, and long-term value. Whether the issue involves unfair competition, licensing, ownership, online enforcement, or another closely related IP conflict, we work to resolve the dispute in a way that protects both legal rights and business objectives.
