Not only have intellectual property (IP) rights become central to the successful operation of many businesses, the laws governing IP rights increasingly intersect with the antitrust laws. Our antitrust lawyers have substantial IP expertise to better meet our client's IP counseling and litigation needs. For example, the team will be able to assist the IP Practice Group in assessing the antitrust implications of the acquisition of exclusive intellectual property rights that trigger HSR filings or the antitrust consequences of settlement agreements in infringement litigation. In cases as diverse as Microsoft and the generic drug litigation, the firm's attorneys have successfully litigated issues concerning the interface between intellectual property rights and the antitrust laws.
