Commercial Litigation
Unfair Competition / Intellectual Property
Litigation is sometimes necessary in order for businesses to prevent unfair misappropriation by competitors and to enforce non-compete agreements. You have not expended the time and talent into developing your intellectual property assets--be they trade secrets, trademarks, or copyrightable materials--only to see someone else wrongfully enjoy the fruit of your labor. Alternatively, litigation can be commenced by others claiming that you are improperly using or infringing on their intellectual property or unfairly competing with them, or that you have unfairly terminated a franchise or sales representative. Bassford Remele attorneys have a breadth of experience in unfair competition litigation in both the state and federal courts, which frequently involves requests for emergency injunctive relief.
Our Firm’s deep litigation experience includes matters involving:
- Antitrust
- Franchise and sales representations
- Dealer and Distributor Terminations and Disputes
- Misappropriation of trade secret and confidential information
- Violation of confidentiality and non-competition agreements
- False advertising
- Interference with business relations
- Trademark and trade dress infringement
- Copyright enforcement
Bassford Remele’s significant trial experience in both state and federal courts provides a noteworthy benefit. Our trial experience helps our clients confidently pursue or defend litigation seeking either injunctive or damage relief. We are committed to vigorously advocating for our clients to help them protect their precious intellectual property assets.
