概要
If someone has stolen your idea, infringed your patent or copied your intellectual property, or your company has been accused of infringement, DNL is here to help. As lawyers, DNL understands that legal issues can result in uncontrolled legal fees and unknown exposure. That's why we have created a fix fee litigation program based upon thirty years of litigation and Courtroom experience which provides reasonable fees and a fixed total cost that allows for planning not surprise.
Adopting the efficiency principles of our clients, DNL does not maintain a firm of lawyers, just as businesses do not maintain unnecessary inventory or production capacity. We assemble a team of litigators tailored to the specific needs of a particular litigation when the case arises. Thus, our services are delivered more efficiently and more cost effectively and with better results. We work hard to support our clients on both sides of infringement issues, whether you're part of a large organization or an entrepreneurial start-up.
