The financial and insurance industries developed their business models long before there were IP rights in service marks, business methods or financial instruments. Furthermore, the transformation of the industries from serving mainly business clients to providing broader services to the general public has changed the role that traditional IP rights play in their business plans. While companies operating in these fields today recognize these changes, optimizing the use of their IP rights is sometimes elusive, especially since there is significant variation around the world as to the availability of and means for enforcing such rights. Ladas & Parry’s long experience in dealing with such issues assists in such optimization.
Our attorneys adapt to the needs of our financial and insurance clients by taking the time to understand the extent of involvement and attention that they can devote to matters we are handling for them, keeping them informed as much or as little as desired, and orienting and focusing them on matters we understand to be of greater importance to their companies.
