Los Altos Intellectual Property Attorneys

Silicon Valley Trade Secret Lawyers

A Technology-Driven Approach to Practicing Business Law and Business Litigation

At the California-based law offices of Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP, we focus on the following areas of our innovative and cutting-edge business law and litigation practice:

• Trade secret litigation - We cover all areas of this complex legal practice, including data protection and information security to help our clients protect their trade secrets. In addition, our attorneys incorporate knowledge of technology in e-discovery and digital evidence gathering and presentation.
• Copyright and trademark litigation - At Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP, we help protect our clients' brands and works of authorship and, conversely, advocate for clients wrongly accused of infringement. Our work includes the growing area of the Internet, the 3D Internet, virtual worlds, video games, and massively multi player online games (MMOG).
• Breach of contract - Our cases frequently involve claims that one or both parties to a contract breached the agreement. Our advocacy for clients in breach of contract litigation extends to both sides of the courtroom. That provides us valued and unique insight in helping plaintiffs and defendants protect their rights. We can also help businesses who need to help with collection services.

For a higher level of business law advocacy, contact our firm at 650-917-8045. We have Silicon Valley offices in the San Jose area and the San Francisco area.

• Data protection - Protecting data in an online digital world presents challenges. We provide legal advice to companies that strive to secure that information. This work involves advising companies on security laws and regulations and how our clients can comply with them. We also help clients respond to security incidents, including through breach notifications. We also represent clients when a security breach has occurred.
• SEC investigations/securities fraud - With former SEC staff members as partners at our firm, we help plaintiffs seeking justice and defendants disputing fraud allegations. Our securities work includes representing clients investigated or interviewed by the SEC or state regulators. We defend clients wrongly accused of insider trading, misrepresentations, and other forms of fraud. Our firm also asserts claims in lawsuits and arbitrations against brokers and investment advisors who have defrauded our clients, including through arbitrations under procedures established by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
• Business formation – Our law firm helps businesses incorporate and organize limited liability companies. We form C corporations, S corporations, limited liability companies, and limited liability partnerships for professionals. We handle all aspects of entity formation for our business clients so they can focus on their creative talents.
• Technology transactions - Our firm represents technology companies and their customers when they are developing, licensing and selling products and services. Also, companies that provide contract programmers and organizations that retain these companies need help in generating service agreements. Our Los Altos intellectual property lawyers attend to every detail to ensure that our clients' interests are protected, their intellectual property rights are protected, and their liability is limited.
• E-discovery and digital evidence - The identification, collection, and exchange of electronically stored information (ESI) is a crucial component of litigation and internal investigations. Moving beyond paper files requires new ways to preserve and secure that data. The failure to preserve and turn over ESI can lead to discovery sanctions under federal civil procedure, the California Electronic Discovery Act, and other state discovery rules. Our firm helps clients comply with the federal rules of civil procedure and the California Code of Civil Procedure.
• Employment law - Employers face allegations of racism, sexual harassment, discrimination and technology-related problems. We know what is at stake for a business dealing with these serious accusations and respond with aggressive advocacy. Our firm routinely acts as outside general counsel for businesses when it comes to employment matters and a whole host of other operational issues for a wide variety of businesses in California and throughout the country.
