Businesses invest in intellectual property to protect their reputation and goodwill in the marketplace and secure developments that give them a competitive edge. For instance, trademarks can help develop and safeguard your brand, copyrights protect your original publications, and patents secure your technological development and product designs. Businesses may also need to evaluate and respond to infringement claims asserted against them. Please schedule a free consultation to discuss how we can help protect your business's intellectual property.
Inventors invest in intellectual property to secure exclusive rights to their claimed inventions, which they have invested their time and resources to develop. For example, an inventor may use utility patents to protect functional elements within a product or procedural steps within a service and design patents to protect the ornamental aspects of a manufactured article. Please schedule a free consultation to discuss your invention and its potential intellectual property rights.
Creators invest in intellectual property to help protect against the unauthorized use, reproduction, and distribution of their original works. For example, an artist may register an original work with the Copyright Office to create a public record of the work and when it was created, enable filing of a copyright infringement claim, and be eligible for statutory damages. Please schedule a free consultation to discuss your original work and possible intellectual property rights.
Various Combinations of Intellectual Property Rights Are Available
Your role in the marketplace can help define which combination of the various forms of protection available under intellectual property law will best address your current needs and future goals.
