Firm overview

Young Conaway offers a broad range of intellectual property services to national and international corporate clients. We are focused on achieving our clients’ specific business objectives. With many years of experience in both jury and bench trials before Delaware’s federal and state courts, our attorneys are often asked to take a lead role in technical, bet-the-company cases. The Intellectual Property Litigation Section continues to grow and has been actively adding associates.

Filings in Delaware

The United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the State of Delaware’s Court of Chancery continue to see an increase in intellectual property filings because of the courts’ ability to handle complex, accelerated matters. Several Young Conaway attorneys have served as law clerks or interns and have gained an in-depth knowledge of the state and federal judiciary. With meticulous attention to detail and big picture strategic vision, our attorneys have developed tactics that permit them to efficiently and effectively represent clients across a diverse range of industries and technologies.

Experienced Litigators From Start To Finish

Young Conaway’s litigators can handle every stage of the litigation, from Markman hearings to motions for summary judgment, trials and appeals. Several of Young Conaway’s attorneys also have experience before the USPTO in both traditional ex parte and adversarial proceedings. If it is not in our client’s best interest to litigate a matter, the firm has attorneys who are experienced in handling intellectual property disputes through alternative dispute resolution venues.

Trademarks

Clients and companies turn to Young Conaway and its team of attorneys to evaluate proposed trademarks and engage in enforcement proceedings on behalf of the firm’s clients.
