200 South Sixth Street Suite 4000, Minneapolis, MN 55402 Larkin Hoffman Intellectual Property, Technology and InternetThe range of Larkin Hoffman’s experience in intellectual property, technology and internet matters is second to none. We understand the emerging legal issues in these interrelated and complex areas of law. We also understand how those emerging legal issues may affect the business of our clients. As a result, we are able to provide innovative, cost-effective and practical legal solutions that protect the competitive position of our clients. Intellectual Property Businesses are learning that intellectual property is often among their most valuable assets. Those assets require expert care and skilled protection. We have decades of experience helping a wide array of clients, ranging from start-up companies to Fortune 500 corporations, identify and protect their valuable intellectual property. Our comprehensive domestic and international intellectual property practice includes patent, trademark and copyright prosecution, infringement assessment and defense, development of trade secret programs, trade dress protection, protecting character and artistic rights, and rights of publicity. Along with our traditional intellectual property practice, we have developed exceptional skill and experience in licensing, enabling our clients to successfully leverage their intellectual property in the United Sates and around the world.

When it comes to the wonders of the Web and all of its intricacies, our lawyers are in familiar territory. We are adept at combining the fundamentals of intellectual property law with the principles of commercial contracts to ensure that online business transactions are secure and efficient. Our extensive experience with the Internet enables us to anticipate and efficiently manage the unique issues that impact e-commerce. Whether it is developing terms of use and privacy policies, drafting enforceable e-contracts, vaulting electronic chattel, addressing security issues, or ensuring compliance with ever-changing regulations, we know how to get it done right in the online world. 7900 Xerxes Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55431 Lindquist & Vennum Intellectual Property attorneysOur group does not prosecute patents; instead, we have elected to work on a case-by-case basis in association with some of the finest patent law firms in the world to defend and prosecute infringement lawsuits and to argue appeals before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. It is our goal to help clients avoid lawsuits through strategic business counseling and analysis of potentially troublesome competing patents. We handle licensing and other transactional work involving patents and assist clients in using the patents to their maximum advantage. Recent successes in patent litigation include a victory in an arbitration on behalf of a group of licensees where the patent owner was improperly attempting to limit the scope of their license, choking off an important source of revenue. The firm was also a part of a team that successfully prevented a pharmaceutical manufacturer from enforcing a questionable patent against a generic equivalent, crafting and presenting the argument adopted by the court in denying the pharmaceutical company's effort to obtain an injunction and ultimately reaching an agreement that allowed our client to introduce its generic to the market. We provide counseling on copyrightability, copyright ownership, registration, transfers, licensing, importation, fair use and the specialized area of copyright security interests. Most businesses today create and use copyrightable works; our goal is to assist our clients in maximizing the benefits they obtain from computer software, video displays, package designs, compilations of important factual information and traditional artistic works such as songs, films, books and art. We have the specialized knowledge and experience in the growing area of law related to "bits and bytes" essential to every business with a presence on the World Wide Web and Internet. We have represented clients in copyright lawsuits involving domain names, architectural designs, product catalogs, sculptures, inflatable amusement park slides and Internet linking and framing issues. Our group's recent successes include obtaining an order leading to the impoundment and destruction of "knock-off" sculptures as they were imported from another country; a jury verdict for a contractor whose unique design of a luxury home had been pirated by a competitor; and a judgment and award of attorney fees when a competitor brazenly copied a client's agricultural products catalog—then refused to withdraw it from circulation. We also defend companies against exaggerated allegations of infringement by the so-called "software police." On several occasions we obtained inexpensive and confidential settlements. We have successfully defended clients whose competitors have misused their copyrights to attempt to obtain an unfair market advantage. 80 South Eighth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402 |
