In today’s knowledge economy, ideas are currency, and intellectual property is often a company’s most valuable asset. At Michelman Robinson, we help clients secure, protect, and monetize their IP with strategic foresight and technical precision.

Our team advises on the full lifecycle of IP, from acquisition and enforcement to licensing and litigation. We prosecute trademarks, patents, and copyrights in the U.S. and internationally, and we act as both trusted counselors and courtroom advocates. Clients rely on us to navigate brand identity issues, manage infringement claims, negotiate licensing agreements, and assess the value of IP portfolios in M&A, financing, and other commercial contexts.

Our experience spans sectors and asset classes, including proprietary data, emerging technologies, entertainment content, and cutting-edge software. We’ve also been at the forefront of legal innovation, helping clients recognize and protect data as a distinct form of intellectual property.

Whether advising a startup poised to disrupt or a global brand with a legacy to protect, we bring creativity, commercial fluency, and legal rigor to every engagement. And for many clients, we operate as outside general counsel for all things IP, structuring strategies that maximize the value of their ideas and innovations. At every stage, in every forum, we help clients protect what sets them apart.
