Strategic litigators on your side

From coast-to-coast, we handle complex intellectual property litigation matters in federal court. Whether you are responding to an initial demand letter or preparing for trial, we are a full-service law firm with attorneys ready to help every step of the way.

In addition to federal district court litigation, our attorneys represent clients in administrative proceedings at the U.S. Trademark Trial & Appeal Board ("TTAB"), the U.S. Patent Trial & Appeal Board ("PTAB"), and under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy ("UDRP").

We prepare every case for trial while actively pursuing creative solutions to resolve disputes early, often before formal proceedings are initiated.

From small start-ups to large international conglomerates, Rumbaugh has helped clients of all shapes and sizes pursue their interests and achieve their goals.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
