Every innovation deserves protection, and every dispute requires proven expertise. As a top intellectual‑property litigation attorney serving Houston, we navigate patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets so you can focus on what drives your business forward.

Whether you’re a startup founder, a VC‑backed tech company, an AI/SaaS innovator, an established corporation, or even a Fortune 500 enterprise, IP disputes can arise unexpectedly.
Trademark battles over branding, patent infringement claims concerning invention rights, and copyright lawsuits safeguarding creative works are common in Houston’s vibrant business scene.
Lloyd & Mousilli's Clientèle: entrepreneurs, early‑stage startups, growth‑stage scale‑ups, AI & software/SaaS firms, venture‑capital investors, multinational corporations, and Fortune 500 companies that need sophisticated IP strategy.
Local expertise matters. Texas courts apply both federal IP law and state business principles. From the initial assessment to final resolution, our firm provides a strategic, results‑driven approach to patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection—tailored to Houston industries.
Intellectual property disputes are as diverse as the innovations themselves. We handle high‑stakes litigation in patent, trademark, copyright, and trade‑secret cases—defending client rights and enforcing judgments in Houston courts.
If another party has infringed on your patented invention—or you’re defending your product against such claims—patent litigation is the way to safeguard your innovations.
Our attorneys represent clients in district court, at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, and through administrative proceedings. Complex cases call for counsel with technical backgrounds and proven trial results.
Brand reputation and recognition are invaluable to every business. Lloyd & Mousilli prosecutes and defends trademark infringement actions, resolves unfair‑competition claims, and secures emergency orders to stop unlawful use of protected marks.
From homegrown startups to multinational corporations, L&M's goal is rapid, effective brand enforcement.
If your original writing, software, or design is copied or misused, copyright litigation is essential. We pursue copyright claims in federal court, handle cease‑and‑desist letters, and fight for injunctions and monetary damages.
Houston’s creative community trusts Lloyd & Mousilli to defend their artistic and commercial works.
Protecting confidential business information can be vital to your company’s future. We prosecute misappropriation cases, defend businesses accused of improper use, and guide clients through computer‑fraud and non‑compete disputes—both in Texas state courts and federal venues.
A local intellectual property lawyer provides a deep understanding of Texas law, Houston’s industry landscape, and the procedures unique to area courts. We bring hands‑on experience and personalized attention—delivering practical strategies that fit your realities.
Our approach to IP enforcement is collaborative and result-focused:
