Overview
Operating from the deep bluegrass of Kentucky, McBrayer’s intellectual property team reaches across the continent and globe to provide client-centered legal services. No matter where in the world our clients are, McBrayer delivers legal expertise with midwestern collegiality and care to their door. We believe in our clients and their goals, and we dedicate ourselves to helping our clients achieve those goals. Our IP clients experience the efficiency with which we work, the consistency of our counsel, the right-sizing of our case management, and the high quality and timeliness of our work product.
McBrayer intellectual property attorneys deliver outstanding results everywhere because of our team approach to client work. That teamwork grows from experience, and McBrayer attorneys have decades of it— We provide big-picture counseling on global trademark and copyright protection and enforcement strategies. We are well-versed in transactions at the crossroads of intellectual property assets and commercial opportunities–licenses, assignments, right of publicity, trade secrets, software licenses, and even supply chain agreements. We have broad expertise in data privacy and cybersecurity matters as well and are often brought in by clients to advise on complex issues in the ever-fluid data privacy and security landscape.
When push comes to shove, we have IP litigators with depth and breadth of experience. They are most at home in jurisdictions where intellectual property matters are most often litigated, routinely handling matters before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, but they are just as often found on the road, deftly handling infringement litigation in over thirty states and at every level of the federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. When you mean business, so do they.
A GLOBAL PRACTICE
McBrayer manages intellectual property portfolios for clients around the world, ranging from trailblazing start-ups to world-renowned companies to valuable referral partners on every continent. We may not always speak our clients’ language, but we always make it our business to understand what’s important to them. Our team is inherently collaborative with our international clients and rigorously up-to-the-minute on current IP law no matter the location – all of which leads to high-quality work and positive outcomes. We also greatly value and work seamlessly with our network of global partners to support clients around the world.
