Intellectual Property
Intellectual property -- which include not only trademarks and copyrights
but also business and product names and valuable technologies -- are often
the most valuable assets of a business. We encourage our clients to
take all legal steps necessary to protect their intellectual property, thereby
strengthening their claims to such valuable assets. Although
they may not realize it, most businesses have valuable intellectual property
rights in the form of trademarks and service marks. We protect these assets
by:
- Registering state, federal and international trademarks and service marks
- Developing trademark preservation and protection strategies
- Licensing intellectual property rights
- Conducting searches and analyzing research reports
- Advising clients about licensing and e-commerce trademark issues, including Internet domain name registration
- Representing clients in disputes and lawsuits over trade and service marks
We provide similar services for other types of intellectual property, such
as copyrights, trade names and trade secrets. We help our clients organize
their businesses to maximize the value of their intellectual property. We structure,
negotiate and prepare agreements involving development, consulting, nondisclosure,
marketing and distribution issues. When necessary, we also enforce and defend
these rights for our clients.
