International IP

The global nature of commerce requires intellectual property rights owners to at least consider securing IP rights outside the United States. CPH's practice is truly global in scope. Our attorneys handle intellectual property matters throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. We will work with you to secure and enforce your IP assets at home and abroad. Our clients include American companies that operate abroad and foreign companies who have business interests in the United States.

Our attorneys speak a number of different languages, including Chinese (Mandarin and Taiwanese), Farsi, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. We also have strong relationships with foreign IP firms in Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, and Asia.
