Intellectual Property

Have you properly protected your intellectual property investment?

Intellectual property results from original creative thought, such as trade secrets, copyright, and trademarks. Federal and state law provides the legal right to claim ownership of and protect your company’s intellectual property. Protecting intellectual property is important because it provides you the exclusive right to use the intellectual property and exclude others from doing so. Protecting your intellectual property also gives you the legal right to license your property to others without voiding any claims to ownership.

We are happy to discuss with you the necessary steps to protect your intellectual property, and we are knowledgeable on issues that arise when others infringe on your rights. Our attorneys work diligently to protect, maintain, and enforce intellectual property for clients in diverse fields, including e-commerce, software, video games, improper internet distribution, data storage, and others.

Our intellectual property attorneys are available to meet with you in Orlando or Tampa to discuss how we can help protect your intellectual property. Our process typically begins with a no-cost phone consultation to understand your needs, then we can determine our next steps.

Call us to discuss your intellectual property questions relating to any of the following:

• Copyrights: Original artistic or literary work.
• Trademarks: Generally, a word, phrase, symbol, or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others and typically protects brand names and logos used on goods and services.
• Service Marks: Similar to trademarks, except they identify and distinguish the source of a service rather than goods.
• Trade Secrets: Any confidential business information that provides an enterprise a competitive edge (including formulas, algorithms, customer lists, price lists, plans, strategies, sometimes source code, etc.).
• Trade Dress: The look and feel or the appearance of the product or packaging that distinguishes a particular product from similar products.
