Intellectual Property

What are some ways I can protect my intellectual property?

The US patent office is an invaluable resource for protecting the rights of our nation's most valuable resource; the creativity and imagination of our inventors and business people.  Unlike any place on earth in recent history, the development of exciting technological ideas has helped to propel the culture of the United States to a dominant status among the world cultures.  Revolutions in technology, computers and pop culture have created an excitement in our country that has fascinated the world.  The difficulty we face in the fast paced internet environment is finding ways to protect our ideas from those who would use them without license. 

There are several of methods of protecting ideas.  For written materials the copyright is a most valuable tool for ensuring civil protection and establishing liability for trespassers.  For sound and video recordings the patent office provides a procedure for protecting these property rights and creating an effective barrier to infringement of your ideas that is similar to the copyright law.  For businesses, trademarks mean that a corporate logo or business name can be turned in to a property right and all of the name branding that a business does to create goodwill and establish a successful recognizable business in the market place can be protected and transferred to a subsequent owner.

Intellectual property is one of the more dynamic areas of the law and it is always a pleasure to help clients protect these interests.
