We represent companies in high-stakes intellectual property litigation, bringing trial experience and a strategic, efficient approach focused on achieving the right result.
Procopio represents companies in complex intellectual property disputes across patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. We litigate in federal and state courts, before administrative bodies, and in alternative forums, handling matters that are often central to our clients’ business and competitive position.
Our award-winning team brings substantial trial and appellate experience, representing clients in high-stakes litigation across a range of industries, including technology, life sciences, and consumer products. We have a strong presence in all California federal courts, having handled a significant volume of IP litigation matters in these jurisdictions. We also litigate in other federal, state and appellate courts.
We represent both plaintiffs and defendants, giving us a practical perspective on how disputes develop and how they can be resolved efficiently. Our experience includes jury trials, injunction proceedings, and complex motion practice, as well as proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, the International Trade Commission, and other specialized forums.
Our approach emphasizes strategic, efficient execution. We work closely with clients to understand their business objectives and develop litigation strategies that focus on achieving the right outcome, whether through trial, early resolution, or alternative dispute mechanisms. This includes identifying opportunities to resolve disputes without unnecessary cost or disruption while remaining fully prepared to litigate aggressively when needed.

That decision depends on business objectives, risk tolerance, and the strength of the claims. In many cases, early resolution through negotiation, mediation, or administrative proceedings can achieve the desired outcome more efficiently. Litigation is often appropriate where critical assets, market position, or precedent are at stake.
We focus on early assessment of the legal and business issues, including the strength of claims and defenses, potential exposure, and the client’s objectives. This allows us to develop a strategy that prioritizes efficient resolution while preserving the ability to litigate aggressively if needed.
Cost management starts with strategy. By focusing on the most important issues, structuring discovery efficiently, and identifying opportunities for early resolution, we help clients control costs without compromising outcomes. We also tailor litigation plans to align with the client’s priorities and budget.
Forum selection can significantly impact timing, cost, and outcome. Considerations include the type of claims, available remedies, procedural rules, and the experience of the court or tribunal with similar matters. We regularly advise on litigation in federal and state courts, as well as specialized forums such as the PTAB, ITC, and TTAB.
IP disputes often involve related issues such as breach of contract, unfair competition, employment matters, and data-related claims. An integrated approach ensures that all relevant claims and defenses are considered and that litigation strategy aligns with broader business and legal considerations.
We work closely with technical experts, in-house teams, and business stakeholders to translate complex issues into clear, persuasive arguments. Our experience across multiple industries allows us to present technical concepts effectively to judges, juries, and arbitrators.
Injunctions and early motions can be critical tools in shaping a case. They may be used to protect market position, limit ongoing harm, or narrow the issues in dispute. We evaluate these options early and use them strategically where they align with client objectives.
We coordinate strategy across jurisdictions to ensure consistency and efficiency. This may include parallel litigation in different courts, administrative proceedings, or cross-border issues, with a focus on minimizing duplication and managing overall risk.
We prepare every case to be litigated fully, including through trial if necessary, while continually evaluating opportunities for efficient resolution. This approach allows us to maintain leverage in negotiations and achieve outcomes that align with the client’s business goals.
Companies often reassess counsel when matters become more complex, stakes increase, or efficiency becomes a concern. This is particularly relevant when a more strategic, integrated, and cost-conscious approach is needed to manage litigation effectively.
