INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Applying for a patent is a complicated process which requires a uniquely trained attorney that must be admitted to practice in front of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and has passed the Patent Bar.

A patent is a legal document that gives you the exclusive right to prevent others from making, using, selling, and importing your invention for a period of time.

If you are awarded a patent on your invention, others are not allowed to compete with you while your patent is in force.

After being awarded a patent, some inventors create a business and manufacture and sell their product, while others look to license or sell their patent to a larger corporation with  manufacturing capacity. Those corporations generally offer either lump sums or a percentage of each product produced or sold. If you are offered a contract to purchase or license your patent, we can help negotiate those terms so they are most favorable to you.

We understand the complex rules regarding prosecuting application for letters patent and can be your legal ally throughout the patent prosecution process. We offer our extensive experience on patents, from simplistic to complex, to prepare, prosecute, and ultimately obtain patents which protect your most valuable asset – your invention.

A trademark is a symbol, word, or phrase that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services.  The term trademark is used when applied on physical goods, while the term service mark is used when a company provides services.

Receiving a trademark provides legal protection for your brand and helps to establish the identity and credibility of your business in the marketplace.

Businesses get trademarks to:

• Protect their brand: A trademark can help to protect a business’s brand by preventing others from using a similar name, logo, or slogan that could confuse consumers or dilute the brand’s value.
• Establish brand identity: A trademark can help to establish the identity of a  business in the marketplace, making it easier for consumers to recognize and remember the brand.
• Build customer loyalty: A strong brand identity can help to build customer loyalty, as consumers are more likely to trust and remain loyal to a brand they recognize and trust.
• Enhance marketing efforts: A trademark can be a valuable tool in marketing and advertising efforts, as it helps to differentiate a business’s products or services from those of competitors.
• Increase business value: A trademark can increase the value of a business, as it represents a valuable asset that can be sold or licensed to others.
