INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Trade Secrets, Unfair Competition
You may now or in the future create, what is referred to as IP or Intellectual Property. IP is often identified according to applicable laws. The most common categories of Intellectual Property are patents (typically an innovation), trademarks (typically words used to identify a source), copyrights (typically involving an author that creates a masterpiece or other work of artistic expression), and trade secrets (nonpublic information, processes or discoveries).
My Intellectual Property services are generally intended to help innovators identify and preserve legal rights in their innovations, profit from those creations, and enable further innovation.

Although it may not always be readily apparent, interactions with other businesses may have unintended consequences on your Intellectual Property rights.

We can also help when your pre-litigation strategy requires preparation of patent clearance opinions, freedom to operate opinions, patent validity/invalidity opinions, and intellectual property infringement/non-infringement opinions.
