The Kendall Law Group’s intellectual property litigation practice group represents individuals and companies in the trial of intellectual property cases. These cases include patent, trade secret theft, unfair competition, and other business torts. The Firm’s attorneys have represented clients in state and federal district courts, as well as the Federal Circuit Court of appeals.
We thrive on high-stakes, complex litigation and don't shy away from a courtroom to fight. Our cases frequently involve tens or hundreds of millions of dollars at stake for the parties involved. The firm often litigates against major corporations represented by the leading defense firms in the world. Individuals and companies frequently come to us when their intellectual property rights are being infringed by others and need to be enforced vigorously. We will also represent defendants who are being falsely accused of patent infringement.
The Kendall Law Group has the experience, expertise, and resources to handle complex intellectual property litigation anywhere in the country and to level the playing field for our clients. Our clients are technological innovators and so are we. We embrace high technology in every facet of our practice and employ the latest technology at trial.
While each case is different, representative cases include:

We are among a handful of law firms who will enforce plaintiffs’ intellectual property rights on a contingent fee basis, which enables plaintiffs to enforce their intellectual property rights against major corporations when they otherwise could not afford to and ensures that our compensation is based solely on results achieved. When justice must be done, it’s the results that matter.
