Consumer Products & Services

Overview

At Knobbe Martens, our breadth of legal, technical, and industry experience and expertise allow us to provide uniquely effective representation in connection with consumer products litigation. We have the experience of a law firm with more than 60 years of intellectual property practice. We have close to 300 lawyers and scientists focusing on patent, trade dress, trademark, copyright, and trade secret law. Our litigation team has represented clients in nearly 2,500 IP cases in federal courts across the country since 2000.

Our honed IP skills are particularly valuable in the realm of consumer products. In this specialized area of practice, it is common that a single product may claim protection for its inventive features (utility patent); design (design patent and trade dress); branding (trademark); graphic, illustrative, or textual elements (copyright); and confidential proprietary information (trade secrets). We are proud that many of the world’s leading companies have entrusted the protection of their consumer products to us, including Oakley, Luxottica, Monster Energy, Makita, Specialized Bicycle, Carl’s Jr., Razor, Volcom, Mophie and 5.11 Tactical, among many others.
