We know that your idea is valuable to you and
we are here to help you protect it. We specialize in working
with inventors
and businesses seeking to protect their ideas. The first level
of assistance we provide is counseling. We start by meeting
with you
to gather specific information about your idea, and then we advise
you whether your idea meets preliminary requirements for protection.
Our initial one-half
hour consultation is free. We can advise you whether your
idea could be protected by a patent, a trademark, or a copyright,
or whether
there is some other means of protecting your idea under existing
laws.
In most cases, if your invention or idea appears protectable
as a patent or trademark, our advice will be to perform a search
to locate
the closest existing patents or trademarks. This confidential
search is necessary for us to properly advise you whether it makes
sense
to pursue a patent or trademark. Following a favorable evaluation,
we can represent you in seeking the appropriate protection
- just
as we have for hundreds of other clients since 1976.
If you have invented or discovered any
new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition
of matter, or a new, original or ornamental design, or any
new and useful improvements, a patent is the form of legal
protection you are seeking. More >
In many respects, copyrights are
the most flexible form of intellectual property protection,
covering works from books and music to computer programs
and product labels. For that reason, copyright law is
often misunderstood and misapplied, creating problems
both for the owner of the copyright and the party who
may have infringed on it. More > |

If you have a distinctive name or slogan
for your business, or a name or logo for a new product, a
trademark is the form of legal protection you are seeking. More >
Our office is here to support and
guide you through the steps necessary to make your idea
profitable. We bring more than 25 years of experience
in helping clients succeed. More > |
