The ownership and management of intellectual property (IP) is a very important and nuanced area of law. Our team of intellectual property professionals can help you manage your intellectual property in every aspect and help advise you on your rights and how to effectively maintain ownership of your invaluable ideas and works.
What Do IP Attorneys Do
Intellectual property attorneys help to ensure that you have complete rights to your intellectual property while also remaining in a strategic position to make intelligent decisions regarding this intellectual property.
Intellectual property law is made up of a few different areas of practice:
-
- Patent Law: Patents protect the rights to any type of new invention such as technology, process, or machine that is unique. Patent lawyers help to ensure that you have a unique idea and help to get your application through the USPTO.
- Trademark Law: Trademarks help to protect the branding surrounding a new business, invention, or idea. This can involve the business name, a certain slogan, and even designs and symbols related to your brand.
- Copyright Law: Copyrights deal with creative works and determine who can control and use a property.
- Licensing: Licensing involves allowing others to have temporary permission to use your intellectual property in a certain manner. Licenses can vary and depend on the idea or convention itself and how it is used or implemented.
