3 Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends, Over the past year, Chadbourne s Intellectual Property Group has achieved numerous successes for our clients in the patent, copyright and trademark space, including last October, where Chadbourne successfully obtained a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction preventing a foreign company from selling a product in the United States that infringes on patents held by Chadbourne s client. Chadbourne s work in intellectual property has received recent accolades, including being ranked #1 by US News and World Report as the Law Firm of the Year in Copyright Law. Awards like these are a testament to the many talented and dedicated lawyers in the group. Over the last several years, Chadbourne has been trusted in the development and management of patent and trademark portfolios for numerous world renowned companies, including CBS, Time Warner, Verizon, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Bad Boy Records, Priceline.com, Monster.com and VISA. These clients choose Chadbourne as trusted counsel because of our team of experienced litigators, prosecutors, and IP counselors, many of whom have advanced degrees and in-house industry experience, including the former Chief Patent Counsel for Credit Suisse. It is this type of experience that gives Chadbourne a distinct advantage in the marketplace when it comes to understanding our clients needs and managing costs from an in-house perspective. When it comes to patent litigation, Chadbourne stands out among its peers. The benchmark of our practice is that we combine our IP Group s deep technical and scientific knowledge with Chadbourne s world renowned trial litigators, such as Abbe Lowell, who was recently named by the National Law Journal as one of The Most Influential Lawyers in America. Working together, Chadbourne s lawyers are able to take the complicated technology regularly found in patent cases and make it clearly understood by both judges and juries. This winning combination has not only proven effective at trial, but has also proven effective in putting together a strategic plan to litigate a case to a fast and favorable resolution. While our litigation capabilities are second to none, we also pride ourselves on our ability to reach practical business solutions for our clients intellectual property issues without the need to resort to litigation. Our IP Group continuously strives to surpass our clients expectations through strategy, results, efficient solutions and personal attention and we look forward to continuing that tradition with you. We look forward to implementing a strategic plan for you that will provide results in the most cost-effective manner. To that end, we will always explore alternative fee structures with our clients, including discounts on standard hourly rates, partial contingency, flat fees, or creative combinations of any of the above in order to meet each of our clients needs. We believe that we can offer our combination of IP services under a fee arrangement that works for you. We would be delighted to introduce ourselves and our practice to you personally and look forward to that opportunity. Sincerely, Paul Tanck CHAIR, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY +1 (212) ptanck@chadbourne.com

4 Today, businesses worldwide recognize that their intellectual property is among their most valuable assets.

Litigation and Counseling Our lawyers have extensive litigation experience in all key practice areas of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets, false advertising, copyrights, right of publicity, and related antitrust and unfair competition concerns.

5 CAPABILITIES While our litigation capabilities are second to none, we also pride ourselves on our ability to reach practical business solutions for our clients intellectual property issues without the need to resort to litigation. PATENT LITIGATION Chadbourne s litigators have achieved major victories in patent litigation matters throughout the US and have experience in diverse technological fields: Computer Software Cosmetics Computer Hardware Semiconductors Business Processes Industrial Control Biotechnology Consumer Products Medical Devices Circuits Pharmaceuticals Optics Financial Services Mechanical Devices E-Commerce Connectors Chemical Processes Manufacturing Processes Telecommunications Automotive Nanotechnology Chadbourne s intellectual property practice also includes a strong emphasis on electronics, information technologies and financial services. Chadbourne s lawyers are experienced in litigating computer software and business process patents. Some patent litigation clients we have successfully represented include: JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, Rockwell Automation, Canon USA, Microsemi, Phillips Avent, Fujitsu, Avid Technology and Adidas. PATENT REEXAMINATION, POST GRANT REVIEW OR IPR PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE USPTO Another focus of Chadbourne s patent practice is reexamination, post grant review and inter partes proceedings in the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Based on Chadbourne s strong patent litigation experience, the intellectual property group is well suited to handle the new quasi-litigation Post Grant Review and IPR proceedings in the USPTO. These proceedings are a new form of administrative litigation for challenging the validity of an issued patent in a 12 to 18 month proceeding before a panel of administrative law judges. Our experienced patent litigators will work closely to develop offensive and defensive strategies to achieve success in these administrative examination proceedings. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 3

6 #1 LAW FIRM OF THE YEAR IN COPYRIGHT LAW US NEWS BEST LAWYERS TRADEMARK, TRADE SECRET, COPYRIGHT AND UNFAIR COMPETITION LITIGATION The identity established by a company s brand is often the company s most valuable intellectual property asset. Trademarks represent the time, effort and expense invested in building a company s reputation and goodwill. If this hard-won identity is not protected, the value of the investment will be lost. We have broad experience litigating high-stakes cases involving some of the most famous marks in civil litigation in this country and abroad, in administrative proceedings before the USPTO and before foreign trademark offices and in domain name proceedings. Chadbourne s intellectual property lawyers also have extensive experience litigating trade dress, trade secret, unfair competition, Lanham Act and copyright disputes throughout the US. Our lawyers have experience representing clients in diverse industries, including the motion picture industry, the recording industry, fashion and the food and beverage industry. CLIENT COUNSELING AND PATENT OPINIONS We regularly advise clients with respect to issues concerning the validity, enforceability, infringement, scope and patentability of patents. We also advise our clients concerning product clearance and design around of existing patents. Our lawyers, some of whom hold prestigious science degrees, have extensive experience in a wide array of technologies. PATENT PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT AND PROSECUTION Experience in patent prosecution and a thorough understanding of the underlying technology can make the difference between a sound patent claim that deters infringement, and an invitation for future litigation. An investment in patent expertise from the outset is invaluable both for the individual inventor and the multinational corporation. Chadbourne is proud to be on the cutting edge of new developments in a wide variety of technologies. We work closely with our clients to translate the in-depth knowledge of their technology and its applications into effective national and worldwide patent strategies. Our intellectual property team includes seasoned patent prosecutors with extensive experience in domestic and international patent procurement. To provide our clients with cost-effective international patent portfolio development, Chadbourne s intellectual property lawyers are supported by an experienced patent agent and paralegal team, who hold advanced technical degrees. Chadbourne s intellectual property practice includes a particularly strong focus on information technologies and financial services. The firm s attorney and patent agent team have developed significant patent portfolios in this highly specialized area, including the procurement of a number of pioneering computer software and business process patents. 4 CHADBOURNE

We provide intellectual property audits of our clients holdings, whereby we can provide a full assessment of what measures should be implemented in-house to secure and protect their rights. LICENSING AND AGREEMENTS Chadbourne s intellectual property group also has extensive experience in all forms of licensing involving patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, software and technical know-how.
