Within the scope of his practice, Mr. Sales advises clients regarding the worldwide protection, registration and enforcement of their patent, trademark and copyright rights, renders opinions on the scope and enforceability of intellectual property rights, and negotiates the sale, acquisition and licensing of those rights. In addition, he is involved in a substantial amount of adversarial proceedings including both before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, The European Patent Office and in the federal courts. These litigations involve issues such as patent and trademark infringement, trade dress, unfair competition, false advertising, and licensing disputes.
