Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Whether defendant or plaintiff, we can provide and/or support a litigation team focused on the best outcome possible for your case and your goals. When you or your organization is faced with an IP dispute, the stakes are often incredibly high. Losing the case may even mean the end of your business or product line. When facing such high exposure and risk, you need a litigation team with deep knowledge of both the relevant technology or science, and the law. Rooney IP can put together a seasoned team of IP litigators who bring a multifaceted and strategic approach to the dispute, together with a thorough understanding of your business and goals.

At Rooney IP, we understand that a “win” can come in many forms. Victory is often achieved before a verdict is reached. This includes successful results during discovery, summary judgment proceedings, contested IP proceedings, arbitrations, and settlement negotiations. We can help resolve cases long before trial, arbitration hearings or other dispositive proceedings. This can mean considerable savings to clients. Simply stated, a successful litigation outcome is one that meets your business goals in the most cost-efficient manner possible.

Very few IP cases make it to trial. But, the team we put together proceeds as if we were going to trial from day one. We put together the best team and take a careful look at your case, your goals, the triers involved, and the opposition. It means positioning your case for the best outcome at every stage.

Our goals lie in protecting your rights and your IP, regardless of which side of a potential dispute you are on. If your case proceeds from dispute and/or litigation prevention to full blown dispute resolution such as litigation or arbitration, Rooney IP will provide the full support and litigation expertise you need for any IP dispute.

For expert complex litigation and trial work, we partner with premiere IP trial lawyers, including world class boutique litigation firms. Together, we provide full service for all your IP litigation needs.
