Early Intervention and Planning

As soon as a dispute arises over your intellectual assets, whether you’re on the offensive or the defensive, it is critical to begin strategizing best and worse case outcome scenarios. Recent statistics show that approximately 95% of disputes involving intellectual property settle out of court, a number that Altera takes seriously in working with clients involved in such disputes.

Early intervention and planning can mean the difference between finding a mutually agreeable solution before significant time and expense has been spent versus finding yourself in a protracted lawsuit with no likely settlement scenarios in sight. Our dispute resolution and litigation practice is based on the belief that an ounce of creative brainstorming for potential settlement scenarios is worth far more than a pound of costly court filings, discovery and motions.
