Our attorneys meet frequently with business people, inventors, and artists, helping them establish the copyright, trademark, and patent strategies that work best for them. We conduct trademark and patent searches for you within the United States and worldwide. We also give you an accurate assessment of the chances that your trademark will qualify for registration.

By following the appropriate steps, we work to ensure that your intellectual property is protected from infringers. Using our specialized knowledge of this area, we work with you to build and protect your Intellectual Property portfolio.

Protecting your trademark and trade dress

Your trademark and trade dress are some of your business's most valuable assets. We counsel you on how to protect them from infringement by competitors. If you have not adopted a trademark, we determine whether your potential trademark is a unique trademark through a trademark search. Our lawyers have access to a national registry, as well as an international database, in which to research the availability of your trademark and protect you from infringement. You receive an opinion and report concerning the likelihood of success. Our attorneys then assist with obtaining your registration from the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO").

Trade secret protection for your business information

A business needs to ensure that its confidential information is protected. When an employee, or other person, has access to sensitive information, a business needs to take a proactive approach to ensure secrecy. We advise you of the actions you need to take to maintain the confidential nature of your trade secrets. Our lawyers help you draft confidentiality agreements for employees. We also institute legal action if your trade secrets have been improperly disclosed to or used by a competitor.

Ensuring copyright protection for your works in authorship

We also help you fill out the appropriate documents to protect you against copyright infringement. We ensure that any requests for additional information are filed quickly in accordance with copyright laws.
