INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENSING

Trademark Registration & Protection

Trademarks are vital for protecting the identity of your brand, product, or service. I assist you in registering trademarks to ensure that your business’s name, logo, and slogan are legally protected. With a registered trademark, you gain exclusive rights to use your brand in the marketplace and prevent competitors from using similar marks that could confuse customers or dilute your brand's value.

In addition to registering trademarks, I provide services to monitor and enforce trademark rights. If someone infringes upon your trademark, I will help you take action, whether through sending cease-and-desist letters or pursuing legal action. Protecting your brand is crucial to maintaining your reputation, and I’ll work with you to ensure your trademarks remain safeguarded.

Copyrights & Protection of Creative Works

Copyrights protect original works of authorship, such as music, art, literature, software, and other creative works. I help businesses protect their creative content by registering copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office. This registration gives you the legal right to prevent others from reproducing, distributing, or performing your work without permission.

In addition to registering copyrights, I provide advice on how to protect your work internationally and how to license it to others. Licensing your creative works can create new revenue streams while allowing others to use your intellectual property under controlled terms. I help structure licensing agreements that benefit both you and the licensee, ensuring that your creative works are used in a way that aligns with your business goals.

Patent Protection & Strategy

Patents provide exclusive rights to inventors for new and useful inventions. If your business creates innovative products or technologies, I can assist you in navigating the patent application process to protect your invention. From utility patents to design patents, I help ensure that your intellectual property is protected under patent law, giving you the exclusive right to make, use, and sell your invention for a specified period.

In addition to filing for patents, I help businesses develop strategies for maximizing the value of their inventions. This includes evaluating patent portfolios, identifying opportunities for licensing or commercialization, and negotiating patent licenses with third parties. If a patent dispute arises, I provide support in resolving the issue, whether through negotiations, settlements, or litigation.

Trade Secrets & Confidentiality Agreements

Trade secrets are confidential business information, such as formulas, recipes, processes, or client lists, that give your business a competitive advantage. I work with businesses to develop strategies for protecting trade secrets, including the drafting of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and confidentiality clauses to safeguard sensitive information.

Whether you’re dealing with employees, contractors, or business partners, I ensure that your trade secrets remain protected. If a trade secret is misappropriated, I provide legal support to help you take action to prevent further misuse and secure damages if necessary.



Licensing Agreements

Licensing agreements are a strategic way to expand the reach of your intellectual property while maintaining control over how it’s used. Whether you're licensing patents, trademarks, or copyrighted works, I help you negotiate and draft licensing agreements that protect your interests.

I assist businesses in structuring licensing deals that outline the terms of use, payment structures, territory, and duration of the license. Licensing allows you to generate revenue from your IP without giving up ownership, and I work to ensure that the agreements are clear, enforceable, and beneficial to your business. If you are entering into sublicense agreements or negotiating with larger companies for rights to use your IP, I can guide you through those complex negotiations.

Brand Acquisition & IP Due Diligence

Acquiring an existing brand or intellectual property rights can be a valuable business move. Whether you’re purchasing patents, trademarks, or copyrights, I provide legal support in evaluating the IP you’re acquiring. I assist with the due diligence process, ensuring that the intellectual property is properly valued, and there are no hidden legal issues or potential liabilities.

In addition to performing IP due diligence, I help negotiate the terms of the acquisition to protect your interests. Whether the transaction involves acquiring a single asset or an entire portfolio of IP, I’ll work with you to ensure that the acquisition is structured properly, and your newly acquired IP is properly integrated into your business.



International IP Protection

If your business operates globally or plans to expand internationally, protecting your intellectual property in other countries is essential. I provide guidance on how to extend your IP protections across borders, including trademark registration, patent filings, and copyright protection in foreign markets.

International IP protection can be complicated, and the laws vary from country to country. I work with you to create a strategy that ensures your intellectual property is protected wherever your business operates, helping you navigate the complexities of international IP law and ensuring that your brand and inventions remain secure.



Enforcing IP Rights

Once your intellectual property is protected, it's important to take action if someone infringes upon your rights. I provide legal support for enforcing IP rights, from sending cease-and-desist letters to initiating litigation if necessary. Whether you’re dealing with a competitor infringing on your trademark or a third party using your patented technology without permission, I help you protect your intellectual property through aggressive legal strategies.



IP disputes can be costly and time-consuming, but I work to resolve issues as efficiently as possible, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings. My focus is on protecting your assets and ensuring that you retain the exclusive rights to your intellectual property.
