Intellectual Property & E-Commerce

In today’s digital economy, intellectual property protection and e-commerce operations are closely intertwined. Our Intellectual Property & E-Commerce practice provides integrated legal counsel to online businesses, brand owners, and digital entrepreneurs navigating IP protection, marketplace enforcement, and platform-driven disputes.

We advise clients on the protection, enforcement, and commercialization of trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, and brand assets, with a focus on online and cross-border commerce. Our attorneys help clients develop IP strategies that support growth while mitigating infringement and enforcement risks in highly regulated digital marketplaces.

Our IP practice includes:

• U.S. trademark registration, prosecution, and appeals before the USPTO
• IP portfolio audits, brand strategy, and international trademark filings
• Copyright protection for product designs, creative content, and software
• Licensing, joint venture, and technology transfer agreements
• IP-related provisions in M&A, financing, and commercial agreements

We regularly represent online sellers and brand owners facing platform enforcement actions and litigation-driven account disruptions, including:

• PayPal and payment processor frozen accounts, reserves, and fund holds
• Schedule A litigation and asset restraint defense
• Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs), including challenges to asset freezes
• Marketplace takedowns, DMCA notices, and abusive IP complaints
• Trademark enforcement and anti-counterfeiting across major platforms, including Amazon, Walmart, TEMU and Shopify

We also counsel clients on platform compliance, seller agreements, and digital commerce contracts, helping businesses reduce enforcement risk and maintain operational continuity through effective compliance and brand protection strategies.

Our attorneys have represented clients in complex IP disputes before federal courts, including the Southern District of New York (SDNY), the Northern District of Illinois (N.D. Ill.), and appellate courts such as the Second and Sixth Circuits.

Whether enforcing IP rights, responding to an asset freeze, or scaling an online business, we provide practical, business-oriented representation focused on efficient resolution and long-term commercial success.
