One date controls everything that follows: three years for copyright claims; trade secret claims run three years (Cal. Civ. Code § 3426.6), per 17 U.S.C. § 507(b). Patent damages reach back six years (35 U.S.C. § 286). Trademark claims under the Lanham Act borrow analogous state periods and are shaped by laches. Read the record below with that clock in mind.

Intellectual Property · San Jose roster

379 active attorneys with an address of record in San Jose list intellectual property among their practice areas on the registry, out of 3,596 active attorneys whose address of record is in San Jose.

By count, the practice areas most often listed by San Jose attorneys are business law (698), criminal defense (462), litigation (457), intellectual property (379) and family law (321). A count of listings, not a measure of skill.

6 of the 3,596 have claimed and verified their record here; every other listing is the official record as published.

For 269 of the 3,596 active attorneys in San Jose, the registry holds a language other than English; by count, Spanish (171), Chinese (136), Japanese (115) and French (114). Attorneys themselves confirmed Spanish (1); the rest come from a firm website published in that language, which describes the website, not the attorney.

Reading the roster in San Jose. Match the attorney to the asset: trademark clearance and prosecution, copyright licensing, trade-secret protection programs, and patent work are distinct practices, and patent prosecution requires USPTO registration. California's technology corridors mean deep benches in Santa Clara, San Francisco, and Los Angeles counties, but registration and enforcement practice is federal and can be handled statewide. Ask about flat-fee filings, search strategy before adoption of a mark, and enforcement philosophy.
