Intellectual Property Litigation

Wagstaff & Cartmell has experience handling complex, multi-million dollar intellectual property (IP) disputes. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants. Our clients are located in Kansas City, regionally, and nationwide. The fact that Wagstaff & Cartmell is purely a “litigation” firm that does not attempt (and is not licensed) to draft and obtain patents through the United States Patent and Trademark Office has made the firm an attractive referral source for patent lawyers who wish to co-counsel with the firm for its litigation and trial experience, or refer a client to the firm for patent infringement litigation, without the risk of “losing” the client’s prosecution business. Wagstaff & Cartmell welcomes such referrals or co-counsel relationships, and the firm is open to alternative fee arrangements and contingent fee agreements in IP litigation matters.

Our lawyers have experience handling a wide range of IP litigation disputes, including:

• Copyright violations
• Patent infringement
• Trade secrets
• Trademark disputes
