O’Melveny & Myers

O’Melveny’s clients work hard to develop the intellectual property that form the foundations of their businesses—and we work hard to protect those vital assets. Though our practice crosses borders and industries, we are not generalists: each of our lawyers has dedicated their career to a specific area of IP.

Our patent lawyers have technical degrees and industry experience as engineers, physicists, and scientists. Our copyright lawyers are immersed in the high-stakes world of entertainment, software, and e-commerce. Our trademark lawyers include an editor of The Trademarks Law Review and a former general counsel for a major media company. And our trade-secrets lawyers literally wrote the book on their field: Trade Secret Law and Corporate Strategy, published by LexisNexis and now in its third edition.

Our experience and expertise across the gamut of IP law ensures that our clients receive industry-leading representation on the acquisition, exploitation, enforcement, and defense of intellectual-property rights worldwide.
