In today’s environment of rapid change and innovation, disputes involving patents and intellectual property are sure to arise.

Our experience in more than 150 patent-related cases has given us the insight and knowledge of IP law that are needed to craft an effective strategy. Whether you need to acquire and secure intellectual property rights or defend them through litigation, our team is equipped to protect your assets with unmatched expertise and dedication.
THE RIGHT TEAM. THE RIGHT PLACE.
Mark Siegmund, head of our IP team, has an unsurpassed level of experience and familiarity with local courts. As a former law clerk to the Honorable Alan D. Albright, Federal District Judge in Waco, Texas, Mark helped develop the Waco Division’s local patent-specific rules and court standing orders. This invaluable experience has given him an insider’s perspective into one of the nation’s most significant patent litigation venues.
Mark and our team have extensive trial experience. We are intimately familiar with the rules and practices of federal courts throughout Texas—including the Western, Northern, and Eastern Districts—and beyond. In addition, we have served as both local and lead counsel in numerous high-stakes patent litigation cases throughout the U.S. and the Pacific Rim.
We speak the language of technology and innovation. With fluency in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and French—and backgrounds as engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and named inventors—our attorneys bring unmatched technical and legal sophistication to every matter.
DEEP TECHNICAL INSIGHT. STRATEGIC IP STRENGTH.
Our team is deeply connected to the innovation economy—from Silicon Valley to research corridors nationwide—where access to leading universities, R&D hubs, and major tech players enables agile collaboration with elite technical experts. These relationships give us a decisive advantage in protecting and enforcing intellectual property in highly complex and competitive arenas.
