Understanding the complexities of intellectual property (IP) law is crucial for businesses aiming to protect their innovations, sales and to maintain a competitive edge when selling on Amazon or other online marketplaces.
Comprehending Intellectual Property
Intellectual property encompasses creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names and images used in commerce. Protecting these assets is essential to prevent unauthorized use and to capitalize on your innovations.
Patents
Patents grant exclusive rights to inventors, allowing them to prevent others from making, using or selling their inventions without permission. Our attorneys assist clients in preparing and prosecuting patent applications across various technical fields, including computer hardware, software, life sciences, chemical, electrical and mechanical industries.
Trademarks
Trademarks protect brand identifiers like logos, names and slogans that distinguish your products or services. We guide clients through the trademark registration process, ensuring that their brands are legally protected and advising on enforcement strategies against infringement.
Copyrights
Copyrights safeguard original works of authorship, including literary, musical and artistic works. Our firm prosecutes copyright registrations, staying abreast of legal trends to effectively protect your creative assets.
IP Litigation and Online Protection
In cases of infringement, our experienced litigators represent clients in enforcing their IP rights. We also offer online protection services through our eFence program, targeting counterfeit products and unauthorized use of IP across digital platforms.
Developing an IP Strategy
A proactive IP strategy is vital for businesses, especially for startups and entrepreneurs. Implementing a prevention strategy using thorough research can help avoid inadvertent infringement and protect your assets.
