Types of Intellectual Property
Knowing the route to follow to protect your particular type of intellectual property is crucial. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between your potential IP avenues.
The types of IP Avenues are:
- To protect a brand name or a slogan, you are looking to file a trademark application.
- Have a business innovation or secret that you want to ensure stays secret? You are looking for trade secret protection.
- If you have a new invention, be it a physical or method-based invention, you require a patent.
- When you have any other IP made manifest in some sort of physical embodiment, you need a copyright registration.
Active IP portfolio management and regular IP audits are key to ensuring that these IP registrations remain up-to-date and protected by law. This can also help to avoid potential court involvement.

Patent Litigation
Patent infringement is widespread and can be financially debilitating, and the importance of enforcing those patent rights cannot be overstated. Court-based patent prosecution services are a fundamental component of our business model. Our team can assist you in ensuring that infringers not only cease their infringement but are prevented from any future IP theft.
Our firm can assist clients in facilitating an initial dialogue, beginning with a cease-and-desist letter notifying the party of their infringement. If the party refuses to comply, we can assist with strategizing a patent prosecution plan designed to force compliance in court. We can also help recover any lost profits.
Trademark Litigation
While we can assist in ushering your proposed mark through the trademark process, we can also enforce that mark once it has been registered. Patent and trademark prosecution frequently operate similarly, and our experience in both fields ensures symbiotic expertise.
Once our IP team has helped a client register trademarks, there is always a possibility that another party will infringe on that mark via false advertising or IP theft. Our litigation professionals specialize in court claims designed to stop false advertising and infringement and prevent further economic harm. Any trademark IP issues resulting from another party’s appropriation of your mark can be resolved with our attorneys’ focus on concise, effective strategies in court.
Copyright Litigation
While we do extensive work with patent and trademark prosecution, we are also experienced in court-based copyright litigation. Once a work has been registered with the US Copyright Office, it is entitled to protection through the author’s life.
This provides for a lengthy period of protection as well as ample opportunity for infringement. While our lawyers can assist you in gaining those initial copyright registrations, they can also help enforce those rights through litigation in court.
The best law firms will work with you to formulate a game plan to prevent other parties from utilizing your copyrighted works. Be they domain names, technology, written works, computer code, or visual art, our lawyers can help protect your IP.
