Accurate and timely advice regarding trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, trade secrets, domain names, non-disclosure agreements, and related areas not only can secure and protect intellectual property rights, but can prevent costly disputes. Our attorneys have many years of experience in these types of intellectual property law.
When it comes to intellectual property, proactive measures are crucial. This is especially true regarding international IP rights, but is also true for domestic aspects of IP law.
A simple example can illustrate: A company pays a design firm a tidy sum to design the company’s web site according to the company’s specifications, register the company’s domain name, and host the site. Everything goes according to plan, until one year later the design firm demands thousands of dollars for “next year’s license fee.” The company threatens to sue, but is in for a rude awakening: Because the company failed to adequately protect its intellectual property rights, it does not own the rights to its own web site. Our attorneys can prevent this type of situationfrom arising, and can explain what measures should be (and need not be taken) to protect one’s intellectual property.
