Intellectual Property Law

Hartzell & Whiteman has provided advice and representation to many individuals and businesses concerning intellectual property disputes, including those arising from trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. Generally speaking, trademark and copyright disputes are the domain of federal courts while the misappropriation of trade secrets is a state court matter. We have years of experience in representing clients in both state and federal courts and are at ease in either forum.

One emerging area of intellectual property law involves disputes arising from activities on the Internet. In many cases, we have represented the owners of domain names against claims brought by trademark owners. Some of these disputes were resolved under the Internet’s rules of arbitration; others were brought in federal court under U.S. trademark law.
