Specific contractual agreements to protect your rights should be in place before you share your idea with others and before you make arrangements to have your idea produced.

Find an attorney who you can trust that has the experience that you need. An intellectual property attorney specializing in Patent, Trademark and Copyright Law can advise you about protecting your idea so that you can reap the benefits now and in the future.

If your idea can be properly protected you must consider whether you or someone else will be using the idea. Sometimes both you and others will be using it, and they will have to get your permission and pay you a royalty. This is called licensing. You may want to use your idea exclusively in your own business or career, or you can sell your protected idea to others.

We provide a program of guidance and counseling to help you realize the full potential of your idea. Our program includes strategic planning and assessment of potential opportunities, costs and rewards, guided steps to achieving your objectives, and implementation through contract preparation and negotiation. We will work with you and your current advisors (i.e., your attorney and accountant) to assist in developing a comprehensive plan. Our objective is simple: to turn your idea into a marketable tool for you or your business, and to guide and protect your ownership of that tool so that you can reap the benefits, not only today, but well into the future.
