The Intellectual Property Practice at Bruce Claugus & Clyde Mitchell includes trademark and copyright application, prosecution, and licensing; internet and software development projects; transfers of intellectual property; and the protection and exploitation of proprietary rights. The Firm forms and maintains regimes protective of trade secrets. In addition to manufacturers and other commercial entities, clients include authors, actors, and producers in the negotiation, documentation, and enforcement of contractual relationships with publishers, studios, agents, and production companies.

The Intellectual Property Practice benefits greatly from the technical background of the founders of the Firm who hold advanced degrees in engineering and physics from Ohio State University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

This practice is the oldest in the portfolio of practices of the Firm. It began the hard way when Bruce Claugus clerked for a patent law firm during the day and attended law school at night. This was a formative experience during which the seeds of the Firm were planted.
