Electrical & Computer
Brinks attorneys use their backgrounds and experience in electrical engineering, electronics, physics, computer science and engineering to counsel clients on the most effective intellectual property protection for their electrical and computer technologies. We also help our clients assess the intellectual property rights of others, and we minimize the risk of conflict with those rights by conducting validity and infringement analyses and right-to-use investigations. When litigation cannot be avoided, our lawyers skillfully manage highly complex patent and trade secret litigation.
