Trademarks:
Let us conduct a thorough analysis of your existing
trademark portfolio, and work with your
company to develop a cost-effective approach to
maintaining and renewing your registrations. Time and money are wasted when
existing trademark registrations are renewed with
respect to products or services that are no
longer in use, while key
product names sometimes go uncleared or unregistered as
trademarks, exposing the company to the substantial
threat of trademark infringement litigation. As a
member of your legal team, we will develop a
comprehensive database of all marks in your
portfolio and identify key contact personnel within
the company who can provide the necessary
information for submitting filings or
signing the appropriate paperwork. Our
robust docketing and reminder system will ensure
that deadlines are in hand.
Patents:
In many jurisdictions outside of the United
States, the publication or other disclosure
of an invention prior to filing a patent
application results in the loss of all
patent protection. To avoid the loss
of these critical rights get advice early on
in the strategic filing process.
Patent applications can be costly, considerably more expensive than a trademark
or copyright
filing, and the process of
securing patent rights can take several
years. Therefore, it is even more
important to start early in the process to
ensure that budgets are correctly allocated
to get the most protection for the least
amount of money. We can help
with the process. We can help your
company plan and budget accordingly and
prevent and avoid costly surprises.
Copyrights:
Whether it's computer software, blogs, a
literary work or sheet music, we can assist
and advise you in protecting the copyright
in your work and licensing your work to
others to generate a revenue stream.
If you operate a website, we can advise you
how to minimize your liability to
third-parties with respect to materials
posted on your website and guide you to
avoid violating other people's copyrights in
your online operations. |
