MCBB has successfully resolved insurance coverage under Commercial General Liability ("CGL"), Directors and Officers Liability ("D&O"), Professional Errors and Omissions Liability ("E&O"), Automobile, Umbrella, Excess, and a variety of other liability and first-party Property policies.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & TECHNOLOGY
MCBB’s trial lawyers have extensive experience litigating the most complex types of intellectual property disputes, including in the areas of patent, copyright, and trademark infringement, trade secret and information misappropriation, unfair competition, manufacturing, distribution, and licensing disputes, cybersquatting and other Internet-related disputes, breaches of non-disclosure agreements, and other matters involving intellectual property rights. We have helped clients protect their intellectual property rights through litigation, and we have defended clients accused of infringing others’ intellectual property rights. Our intellectual property clients have ranged from large, international, publicly-traded companies to technology start-up companies and individuals, and we have litigated cutting edge technology disputes in numerous industries.

Our clients in these appeals range from large publicly traded corporations to technology startups to individuals. MCBB is well-equipped to represent clients on appeal in cases we have handled in lower courts.
