Areas of Expertise
The law firm Adams Intellectual Property Law, P.A., specializes in patent, trademark and copyright law, and the related areas of unfair competition and trade secret law.
Our practice within this specialty is diverse, including prosecution of patent and trademark applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office; domestic and international patent, trademark and copyright licensing. The firm also has extensive litigation experience and regularly litigates patent, trademark, copyright and related trade secret and unfair competition matters in Federal and State Courts and before government agencies.
The firm is United States patent counsel for a large number of foreign corporations, many of whom have facilities in the Charlotte area. We assist both foreign and domestic companies and individuals in planning and executing overall patent and trademark strategy.
Most of the firm's domestic clients are located in the Southeastern United States. They are involved in many diverse areas of business and include companies involved in the design and manufacture of textile machinery, hosiery and other apparel, filtration equipment, medical equipment and products, child safety products, power transmission equipment, jet engines, electronic controls, microprocessor-controlled audio and video tape winding and loading equipment, flooring products and aircraft passenger seats.
The firm also represents advertising and public relations agencies, record producers, computer programming specialists, a nationwide photographic film processor, trucking companies, a large fiberglass processor, a national restaurant chain, and the owners of an NBA professional basketball team.
Overall, approximately 50% of the firm's practice involves international issues. For this reason, we have very close relations with the international community in Charlotte, and therefore have access to information and services which are not normally available to those without such a large concentration of business in the international intellectual property area.
Additional information, including published opinions in litigation matters handled by the firm are available upon request. We also write, edit and publish our own newsletter, Asymptote Review, which is available upon request without charge to clients and associates.
Our offices are located at 201 South College Street, Suite 2350, in uptown Charlotte. The firm has a complete patent, trademark, copyright and licensing library, including a computer-based CD-ROM library.
Particular care is given to the organization and maintenance of an efficient docketing system due to the volume of international work done by the firm. Each docket date is docketed in three separate locations, including in a computer database.
