Intellectual Property Litigation in the Bay Area

Business-Focused IP Litigation for Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs & Companies

When a trademark, copyright, trade secret, or licensing dispute reaches the point where legal action is necessary, the stakes extend well beyond the immediate claim. At Strategy Law, LLP, we handle intellectual property litigation as part of our broader business law practice, which means we look at how a dispute connects to your contracts, employment relationships, and entity structure, not just the IP claim itself. We’ve been advising entrepreneurs, companies, and investors throughout the Greater Bay Area and California since 2014.

IP disputes are frequently filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, one of the most active federal courts for technology and innovation-related claims in the country. The pace and complexity of those cases demand counsel who understands both the legal framework and the business reality behind it.

If your business is facing an active or threatened IP dispute, contact Strategy Law, LLP at (408) 478-4104 to schedule a consultation. A $10,000 minimum retainer is required for intellectual property litigation matters. Virtual appointments are available, and we offer bilingual services in English and Spanish.

IP Dispute Types We Handle

Our intellectual property litigation practice covers the full range of disputes that arise in a technology-dense, innovation-driven market like San Jose and the broader Silicon Valley region.

• Trademark Litigation: When a business’s name, logo, or slogan is used without authorization, or when a registration is challenged, we represent clients on both sides of that dispute.
• Copyright Litigation: Disputes over ownership or unauthorized use of original works, including software code, written content, and images.
• Trade Secret Litigation: Misappropriation of confidential business information such as formulas, customer lists, source code, or product designs, often triggered by a departing employee or a competitor’s conduct.
• IP Licensing Disputes: Disagreements over the scope, royalties, exclusivity, or termination of a license agreement governing protected intellectual property.
• Technology & Software Disputes: Claims involving software ownership, development agreements, open-source compliance, and unauthorized copying or distribution of code.
• Domain Name & Online IP Disputes: Cybersquatting, UDRP proceedings, and unauthorized use of trademarks in domain names or online content.
• IP-Related Unfair Competition: Claims where a competitor’s conduct, including passing off, false designation of origin, or misappropriation, crosses into actionable business harm alongside or independent of a core IP claim.

Why Businesses Work with Strategy Law, LLP

Strategy Law, LLP holds a Martindale-Hubbell® AV® Rating, reflecting peer recognition for professional excellence and ethical standards. That credential sits alongside something equally important: a practice built around understanding clients’ businesses, not just their legal problems.

Our approach to intellectual property litigation in the Bay Area connects the dispute to the full business picture. A trade secret claim often surfaces employment issues. A licensing breakdown may involve contract provisions the parties interpreted differently from the start. We work across those intersections rather than treating each matter in isolation, because that’s where the real exposure tends to live.

Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs and business owners throughout California can access our services in their preferred language. Virtual consultations are available for clients who need flexibility in how they engage with us.
