The Chambliss intellectual property team includes extremely strong litigators who advocate for our clients' most precious assets. When a dispute arises, we work closely with our clients to be clear on their objectives, budget, and overall goals for the case. One of the most cost-effective options can be resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution. Our team has successfully arbitrated and mediated hundreds of cases related to patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and other IP. One of our attorneys, a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 Listed General Civil Mediator, primarily focuses on intellectual property disputes and has a robust network of industry expert witnesses.

Our lawyers have tried numerous patent infringement cases to verdict and appealed cases to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). We also have experience representing clients in Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution (UDRP) proceedings before the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). With a company’s brand at stake, we are passionate about defending our clients with integrity, providing cost-effective solutions, and taking the stress of litigation off their plates so they can focus on what they do best

Media-related Litigation

We represent media clients in First Amendment, defamation, and right of access issues, and our attorneys regularly work with media clients in aggressively protecting their interests. The firm regularly advises on issues related to Public Records, the Open Meetings Act, Shield Law, defamation prevention, and copyright and trademark matters under federal and state law. Should litigation be necessary, we have litigators and trial attorneys who have vigorously defended and prosecuted claims related to media issues, including infringement, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, and misappropriation in courts throughout the U.S. and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
