Poor quality tires, brakes, engine components, glass and other products raise safety issues worldwide and damage the bottom line of legitimate automotive equipment manufacturers globally. Advances in automotive technologies add new IP pressures as sophisticated innovations require broad legal and technical expertise across multiple industries, including electronics, mechanical devices and optics. CPLP has extensive experience in the automotive equipment industry. The firm provides world-class litigation services, and approaches all IP matters as potential litigations to be won or avoided. Automotive equipment companies rely on us to apply this approach in our substantial patent prosecution, licensing, opinion work and counseling practices.
