How Can a Small Firm Handle a Big Case Like Patent Litigation?

             You might be surprised at how effectively and efficiently a smaller firm like Edward J. Marshall can handle a patent litigation or other case.  By focusing on the core issues of a case, avoiding “busy work” and duplication of effort, and by using attorney time efficiently, the amount of work, and the corresponding costs, can be significantly reduced.

             Edward J. Marshall, Attorney at Law, has working relationships with other lawyers and small firms that can be brought in to help handle large peaks in work volume, such as those associated with document review, if necessary.  But with proper planning and case management, those situations can be kept to a minimum.

Help Responding to Demand Letters

             If you have received a demand letter asserting infringement of someone else’s intellectual property, you should contact an attorney right away to discuss how you should respond.  Failing to take the appropriate action, or taking the wrong action, can significantly affect the eventual outcome.

             Many people believe that they do not need to do anything because they are not doing what they are accused of doing.  In some cases this may be true.  But intellectual property law can be nuanced, and knowledge of some arcane bit of intellectual property law might be needed to determine if you really are infringing—even if such infringement is inadvertent.  The converse can also be true, so that it might appear on the surface that you are infringing someone’s intellectual property rights, but in reality you are not.

             Edward J. Marshall can advise you of your options, and give you the information necessary to choose between various aggressive and less aggressive approaches in responding to demand letters.   Choosing the proper options early on can improve your chances of prevailing if litigation becomes necessary, and properly position you for settlement negotiations if you so choose.

Enforcing Your Intellectual Property Rights

             Edward J. Marshall can also help you enforce your intellectual property rights.  If you believe someone may be infringing your intellectual property rights, we can evaluate your case, and initiate negotiations or litigation, consistent with your personal and business objectives.
