Since 1879

With expertise in technology, innovation, and the sciences, our attorneys can thoroughly protect your ideas.

Competing for market share is a tough proposition in today’s business environment. A company needs a strong idea for a successful product or service, and of course the capital to back it up – but in today’s market, that’s not enough.

To succeed, you must stand out.

A company’s unique difference might exist in the form of an invention, a business process, a product design, a catchy slogan, a written manual, a product name, or even a customer list. These areas of distinction are called “Intellectual Property” – and often they are a business’s most valuable assets. It’s whatever you offer that no one else can provide.


We protect what makes your business unique.


At Woodard, Emhardt, Henry, Reeves & Wagner LLP, our attorneys specialize in identifying, protecting, and preserving your intellectual property, a requirement for success in today’s highly competitive marketplace. Our attorneys focus exclusively in intellectual property, practicing in specific areas including patent, trademark, copyright and unfair competition law in all state and federal courts, practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United State Copyright Office, and proceedings before the International Trade Commission. When a dispute threatens clients’ intellectual property assets, our team of dedicated trial attorneys vigorously enforces and defends clients’ rights throughout the entire litigation and appeal process.
