Patents & Trademarks
Your brand and your products are assets. We help you clear names before launch, register what matters, and license or enforce those rights on sensible terms.
Protect the names and ideas you are building on
A new product name can feel final long before anyone has checked it. We run a clearance search, explain the risks in a short memo and, if the path is clear, file the application with the right classes. Checking first is far cheaper than rebranding after a letter from another owner.
Choosing what to register
Not every idea needs a patent, and not every logo needs a federal filing. The right mix depends on how you sell and where you compete.
We sort your assets into trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and potential patents, and rank them by value.
Trade secrets deserve more attention than they usually get. Recipes, supplier lists and pricing models stay protected only if you treat them as confidential. We help set up simple access rules and agreements that make that protection real, without slowing your team down.
When a patent makes sense, we work with registered patent practitioners we trust and coordinate the business side: ownership, inventor assignments and funding. Our governance group makes sure the company, not an individual, owns the result.
Licensing on terms you understand
A good licence says what can be used, where, for how long and at what quality, and what happens if any of that slips.
We draft and negotiate licensing agreements for brands, content and technology in both directions.
Royalty structures, audit rights and approval of new products are the terms that cause the most arguments later. We explain each in plain English and suggest options that fit how you actually plan to grow the relationship.
When someone copies your work
Not every copy calls for a lawsuit, and most do not reach one.
We start with the facts and your goal, then choose the lightest tool that works: a call, a letter, a platform takedown or a negotiated coexistence. If litigation becomes necessary, our dispute team joins early so nothing is lost.
Ask about a clearance search before your next launch
Most clearance searches are completed within two weeks. Call (555) 214-0386 or send us the proposed name and we will confirm the scope and a fixed fee.
