As a partner in the firm's Intellectual Property and Technology Department and the head of the firm's false advertising group, Saul Perloff represents domestic and international clients in a wide range of complex advertising and unfair competition disputes under the Lanham Act.  He also counsels and advises pharmaceutical, consumer product, biotechnology and other clients on advertising and brand protection strategies. 

Saul has successfully prosecuted and defended disputes involving false advertising, unfair competition and trademark/trade dress and patent infringement in fifteen states across the country.  In addition to his advertising and brand protection practice, Saul has represented companies in cases involving securities fraud, anti-trust and professional liability. He also represents clients in internal investigations of accounting fraud and irregularities.

From 1992 to 1995, he served as a trial attorney and member of the Chief Counsel's Honor Program in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Saul's recent Lanham Act representations include the following:

• Major international pharmaceutical company against a competitor that falsely advertised allegedly "generic" versions of the client's brand name pancreatic enzyme drugs. After the court denied the defendants' motion for summary judgment the case settled on terms favorable to the client that included payments in excess of $20 million over several years.
• Manufacturer of the only FDA-approved inhaled antibiotic treatment for cystic fibrosis patients in a Lanham Act suit against a competing company and three compounding pharmacies. After obtaining a temporary restraining order against the defendants, the parties reached a settlement under which the defendants were required to market their treatment with disclaimers warning doctors and patients that their therapy was not clinically proven.
• Manufacturer of a brand-name wound care ointment in a pair of Lanham Act cases against companies who falsely advertised their products as "generic" alternatives to the brand. After securing preliminary injunctions against both defendants and defeating multiple dispositive motions, the cases proceeded to trial. At the conclusion of each 3-week jury trial, the court entered judgment of $16 million plus attorney fees against one defendant and $3 million plus attorney fees against the other.
• Leading consumer product company in suit against the supplier of a "store-brand" version of the client's top-selling oral rinse. After conducting preliminary discovery, the parties reached a settlement that included a permanent injunction requiring the defendant to withdraw its offending product from the market.
