Partridge and Barengolts provide sample demand letters, pleadings, answers, motions and draft orders carefully selected to help the reader craft precise, effective documents. This book belongs on every IP litigator's desk, and would make an excellent addition to any upper-level course on trademark and copyright litigation."--Jake Linford, Assistant Professor of Law, Florida State University College of Law"Trademark and Copyright Litigation is the rare and helpful combination of a forms book and a treatise all in one. It offers readers a trove of useful examples, with sample complaints, briefs, motions, and other templates that busy practitioners can rely on for fast, efficient document preparation. More than that, the analysis of hundreds of points of copyright and trademark law contained within the examples is concise and insightful, and provides a starting point for research on a particular issue."--Matt Griffin, Senior Counsel--Trademarks, Kraft Foods"While the publication is intended for litigators, this first volume is useful for transaction lawyers, whether or not experienced in trademark and copyright law, who are interested ingaining litigation insights and case assessment techniques.
