Creativity

Protect the greatest asset of your business.

Our expertise in biology, agriculture, and engineering can help you in procuring, enforcing, and licensing intellectual property:

Patents. Our Registered Patent Attorneys apply for and obtain patents to help you maximize your investment into new products and methods. 

Plant Variety Protection. We are the most experienced PVP litigation firm in the nation, and we can help you protect your substantial investment into research and development of new plant varieties. We also sponsor the Farmers' Yield Initiative, or FYI, a coalition of public and private wheat industry leaders. 

Trademarks. We developed a computerized trademark database to remain nimble and responsive with respect to your most important public asset - your brand.

Copyrights. You express yourself every time you write, sing, and type, and our copyright services protect your work.

Trade Secrets. Trade secrets are maintained by utilizing clear, written agreements with partners and employees, and we can tailor these agreements to meet your needs.

Software Protection. Software developers can maximize trade secrets inherent in source code while at the same time protecting their code from piracy by applying for copyright registration.

Agricultural Law. We have focused training in agricultural law from the Masters in Agricultural Law Program at the University of Arkansas, the only advanced law degree program in agriculture in the United States. We can represent you in connection with agricultural legal issues, including contracts and governmental regulation and programs. 

Commercial Litigation. We handle many federal cases involving intellectual property infringement, licensing disputes, distributorships, agricultural issues, and other areas of commercial law. 

Pro Bono. We were recently recognized for our representation of poultry farmers in complex Chapter 12 bankruptcy proceedings and tort lawsuits, which allowed them to continue operating their family farms.
