Robert J. Van Der Wall, P.A.

Robert J. Van Der Wall is the attorney of choice for any and all intellectual property legal representation, advice and services in the Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and South Florida areas.

We have many years of experience in patent, trademark, copyright, unfair competition, trade secrets and computer/internet law. Our experience representing individual clients as well as big businesses and corporations make for effective and economic legal services given that we are also a small firm with low overhead.

Our services go way beyond court trials, appeals and out of court settlements, however. Our legal team make it a point to support our clients from the very beginning all the way to the very end, offering counsel, advice, and studying each and every case closely to ensure every detail of the case is taken into account and used to our client's benefit.

We also provide collateral services in situations where intellectual property protection applications should be pursued parallel to or as a predicate to litigation. For example, some circumstances permit the filing of a rush copyright registration application to provide a predicate for a copyright infringement suit even though the client did not realize its works were copyrightable subject matter until the initial office consultation.

You can always count on us to take the time necessary to clearly explain your case's procedures and status so that you are up to date on every development at all times.

We always provide our clients with copies of everything we file on their behalf, whether it is in court or in the Patent and Trademark Office or Copyright Office. As we understand that charges and matters of the law are often unplanned and happen without notice, we always ensure that someone is available to take on consideration of your intellectual property or dispute and dedicate his or her time to you in a timely fashion.

The sooner you have an attorney on your side, the easier it is to build a strong case and come to a successful resolution, or get the protection your intellectual property may qualify for and deserve.
