Protecting Your Intellectual Property by Filing a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Authored by George Gerstman, Partner at Seyfarth Shaw, LLPThe intellectual property (IP) of a company might include its inventions that can be covered by patents, its industrial designs, its trademarks, its copyrights, its trade secrets, and its domain name. The IP of a technology company as well as other businesses is one of its most valuable and important assets. My chapter will focus on the use of filing a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) in federal court, to protect the intellectual property that has been infringed or stolen by a competitor.While federal courts are replete with intellectual-property lawsuits these days, I have recognized that filing a motion for a temporary restraining order at the time of lawsuit is filed is extremely valuable and can give the plaintiff a head start and often a rapid conclusion to the case. I have used the tactic of moving for a temporary restraining order in dozens of IP cases throughout my career and have never regretted it. To my knowledge, most attorneys have not recognized the effectiveness of filing a motion for a temporary restraining order when the case is filed. My experience enables me to reveal a very effective strategy that has not been fully recognized.
