Intellectual Property

HBA recognizes the importance of Intellectual Property to the success of our clients' businesses, including our clients in the fashion, e-commerce, media, sports and technology fields. For our clients, Intellectual Property, whether it be the company's trademarked brand, catalogue of copyrighted works, or their patent portfolio, is an essential asset that must be protected. In addition, we provide transaction advice and negotiation regarding the licensing of trademarks, copyrights, software and other kinds of Intellectual Property assets.  In addition, we have litigated trademark matters both as plaintiff and defendant. In the context of our corporate transaction practice, HBA also conducts due diligence on these types of assets-- often the core value at stake in the acquisition. 

HBA also offers our clients international trademark procurement services, and manages the world-wide trademark portfolios of several well-known brands, including Rag & Bone (R). We provide clients immediate and full support for their trademark procurement and brand clearance around the world as well as global trademark portfolio management.
