Trademark & Copyright Law

About Copyrights & Trademarks

A copyright protects the expression of an idea or information whether it is a book, a song, a photograph, computer software or any other form in which ideas or information can be conveyed.

Trademarks are used to identify a particular product or service provided by an individual, business or other organization. Trademarks can be words, logos, phrases, designs or other identifiers which in some way very specifically identify an owner’s goods or services.

We offer the following intellectual property services:

• Copyrights: We can assist you in determining whether your idea is copyrightable as defined by the U.S. Copyright Office and then proceeding with the application and registration process. Our attorneys are also experienced in negotiating with others the right to use a copyrighted work.
• Trademarks: Our firm provides trademark services to our clients at all levels. We can perform a trademark search to determine the availability of a trademark, prepare and handle a trademark from application to registration as well as appear before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
• Trade secrets: We can advise clients about how to protect and defend their proprietary trade secrets.

We pride ourselves on being prompt and cost efficient in handling trademark applications for our clients.
