Our team of professionals will simplify the complicated process of obtaining patent protection by timely preparing and prosecuting applications covering your ideas and inventions.  We also provide opinions regarding patentability and infringement.  

A patent is a right granted to an inventor “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” an invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States for a limited time.

Our team of professionals wants to help you protect your valuable branding and goodwill.  We will be your advocate to obtain trademark protection. In addition, to preparing and prosecuting trademark applications we also conduct searches and provide infringement opinions.  

A trademark is a word, name, symbol, or device that is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others.  A servicemark identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product.  Notably, trademark rights may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark, but not to prevent others from making the same goods or from selling the same goods or services under a clearly different mark.

We prepare and prosecute copyright applications.  A copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works of authorship” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.  A copyright generally gives the owner the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to display the copyrighted work publicly. 

A copyright protects artistic expression rather than the subject matter of the expression.  For example, a description of a machine could be copyrighted, but this would only prevent others from copying the description; it would not prevent others from writing a description of their own or from making and using the machine.
