Your business interest is our first priority in every intellectual property lawsuit. Whether your competitors are infringing on your intellectual property or attempting to prevent you from conducting business, Chapman Spingola can help. We receive much of our work in this area from referrals by current clients or non-litigation lawyers with other firms. This work comes to us because we win. We focus immediately on the issues most critical to achieving early results.  This approach positions our clients to achieve the leverage they need to resolve ownership disputes on their terms, not those of their opponents.

Our plaintiff clients have enjoyed settlements and judgments totaling millions of dollars -- while defendant clients have saved hundreds of millions of dollars. We are particularly proud of our reputation for successfully representing the interests of small companies with innovative patented products against various larger companies.

If your invention is being copied, you need to prevent adversaries from cutting into your profits and infringing on your rights. Our record of success in protecting inventors and patent holders is extensive and notable. We file patent infringement suits and use our experience to stop the infringing conduct - and recover monetary damages for our clients.

If you find it necessary to battle claims that your products are infringing on another party's patent, we can defend you against patent infringement allegations and use our experience to invalidate the patents, prove non-infringement, minimize any liabilities, or negotiate a favorable settlement so your business may proceed.

You have a right to your intellectual property. Chapman Spingola recognizes the value of your ideas; we think it’s of the utmost importance that those ideas are protected by copyrights. Thus, we work hard to expertly prosecute those who abuse or take advantage of these protections.

We are well-versed in filing infringement lawsuits to prevent your competitors from using your business name and trademarks on similar products. Our objective is to obtain preliminary injunctions against trademark infringers, forcing the defendants into quick settlements.

We also defend against trademark infringement suits and work to secure insurance coverage under commercial liability policies to pay our clients' attorneys' fees and settlement payments.

If a former employee, consultant or business partner has misappropriated your trade secrets and is using them in a competing business, we will work to prevent unauthorized use by filing a lawsuit and immediately seeking a preliminary injunction.
