What an Intellectual Property Attorney Does

Intellectual property law safeguards the names, content, designs, code, and confidential know how that set your business apart. We help clients identify what is protectable, choose the right tools, and build enforceable rights that stand up in the real world.

Core areas include:

• Trademarks for names, logos, and taglines
• Copyrights for software, designs, media, and marketing assets
• Trade secrets for proprietary processes, formulas, and data
• Patent strategy coordination with trusted patent counsel when needed

IP Protection That Moves at Business Speed
