Protecting and enforcing intellectual property in high-stakes disputes

Poole Huffman attorneys represent businesses, executives, creators, and entrepreneurs in high‑stakes intellectual property disputes, with a focus on aggressive advocacy and practical, results‑driven solutions.

Our Atlanta business attorneys handle complex intellectual property matters in both state and federal courts, frequently in conjunction with broader business litigation, fraud, and unfair competition claims.
