      OUR PRACTICE 

     We offer a unique array of legal services in, and relating to, the field of intellectual property law.  We represent clients from across the country and throughout the world from our offices in Potomac, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, DC.

     We represent clients of all sizes in all areas of intellectual property.  Unlike most traditional intellectual property firms, our practice emphasizes those issues unique to trademark law and branding, the broader field of unfair competition, and, increasingly, copyright law.  In addition, we work collaboratively with our patent attorney colleagues in offering patent related advice and solutions.

     We also differ from most IP firms in that we understand the special needs and financial constraints faced by individuals and startups.  We take pride in representing such entrepreneurs, many of whom have been refused representation by large intellectual property firms or who have come to realize that representation by such firms is financially irresponsible or destined to result in overkill.  We work with individuals, entrepreneurs, startups, and micro-businesses to prioritize needs and expenses in an effort to provide entrepreneurs with every possibility of success.

     Our practice has evolved and grown along with today's technologically driven times.  Consequently, we have gained substantial expertise in cutting edge issues such as:

  • The business and legal concerns raised by the offering of counterfeit goods thru e-commerce.
  • Advising digital app developers in connection with related legal and business issues.
  • Proactive planning with an eye toward avoiding litigation.
  • Disputes involving the copying of business websites.
  • Permissible and impermissible trademark uses through the Internet.
  • Disputes involving claims of website ownership.
  • The constitutional guarantee of due process in instances in which jurisdiction in federal court is based upon a client's Internet presence.

     We also occupy a special niche in representing the intellectual property right and the protection and monetization of rights associated with famous historic locations.  In this regard we are proud to represent the owner and operator of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, the greatest and most recognized icon of American architecture.

     As discussed below, the diversity of our client base coupled with the breadth, experience and knowledge of experts available to us and our clients has allowed us to develop and offer a unique and synergistic service.  Explore below the opportunities we afford through ATLAS BROAD BASED COUNSELING.

     We are available to assist U.S. and international clients of all sizes in the procurement, evaluation, protection, maintenance and monetizing of all intellectual property rights.
