Guardians of Innovation: Your Trusted Partner in Intellectual Property Law

Our Intellectual Property group offers decades of experience in a broad array of legal services to safeguard your asset, including: trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret protection, licensing agreements, and IP litigation.

Intellectual Property (IP) refers to the legal protection of work or an invention that is the result of creativity, such as a manuscript, design, or a logo.

The protection of an individual’s or business’ intellectual property ensures they hold rights to their work through registration of a trademark, copyright, or patent. As you develop new products and services, you will likely face increased business threats and will require skilled IP attorneys who will be able to safeguard your work.

We have you covered in the following areas

1. Copyright

Copyright is a form of protection provided to authors of “original works of authorship” that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works.

2. Trademark

A trademark is a form of intellectual property that protects words, symbols, or designs that can distinguish a source of goods or services. This refers to symbols and marks used in commerce to identify goods and services, such as the Coca Cola logo. However, a trademark application can also be filed even if it is not actually used in commerce yet. It can serve as a source identifier connecting a particular good/service to its owner, which would easily build their brand and increase consumer recognition and trust.

While one can file and apply for any trademark, there are multiple considerations and formalities that need to be followed, for the purpose of ensuring that the applied-for mark provides you with your desired scope of protection.

3. Patents

A patent is a set of exclusive rights given to an inventor, in order to protect a new and novel invention. A patent gives you numerous rights, including a monopoly on using the patent, which excludes others from making, using, selling or importing the patented invention into the United States for 20 years from the effective filing date (for utility and design patents) and 14 years for design patents.

4. Domain Name Disputes

Domain names are important to how you brand yourself and define your business on the internet. Domain names will not only appear on your website, but also on services like your email (ex: pnlawyers.com & contact@pnlawyers.com). If you’re having issues obtaining a domain name or your IP is found within another domain name, our intellectual property attorneys can help you sort this out.

5. IP Litigation

In the event that disputes or infringements need to be taken to court, our IP litigation team is ready to enforce and protect our client’s interests and work.

Our attorneys have the specialized knowledge, experience, and skills necessary to navigate complex registration processes for a range of businesses and individuals looking to protect their work globally.
