While intellectual property—patents, copyrights and trademarks, along with trade secrets, publicity rights and more exotic forms—constitutes the heart of many types of business, such as technology companies, publishing, entertainment and franchising, many business owners in other industries do not realize or appreciate the value intellectual property adds to their companies, and do not take adequate steps to acquire, protect, and use it.
Patent law requires technical specialization that this firm does not directly offer (though we maintain working relationships with those who do). However, we possess a broad understanding of how to develop and maintain an IP portfolio, and we are alert to the ways in which companies can enhance their IP positions. In matters of copyright and trademark we can offer direct services in registering, counseling and protecting them on a transactional basis, and can negotiate and structure licensing programs both on the sales and procurement sides of a business.
