Intellectual Property

Expert Insights

BRG experts’ experience in litigation covers a wide range of intellectual disputes, including allegations of patent, copyright, trademark infringement, and theft of trade secrets. They regularly testify on damages, injunctions, irreparable harm, and commercial success. They also deal with the IP aspects of tax and international trade disputes, as well as breaches of contract and technology agreements.
