The term “intellectual property” refers to creations of the mind that can be protected by law. Among the traditional categories of IP are copyright, trademark and trade secret law. Copyright protects works of authorship and other creative works. Patent law protects inventions and discoveries. Trademark law protects the identifiers your customers associate with your brand, like brand names, logos and slogans. Trade secrets protect confidential business information. A related practice is called technology law. Technology law addresses challenging issues involving security and privacy that emerge when new technologies are introduced into society. Additionally, intellectual property law can touch on the wide variety of ways you interact with your customers ranging from advertising and social media to product packaging.

Regardless of which area of law applies, we work closely with every client to design the best possible strategy for obtaining the right balance of protection using the most appropriate legal tools available.

Our clients come from all levels of business, from large corporations with thousands of intellectual property assets to individuals with clever new ideas. Whether you are large or small, we can almost always find ways to protect your valuable resources.
