Comprehensive Strategies

To combat misappropriation and infringement, businesses can take advantage of several intellectual property methods. We help business utilize:

• Trade secrets: You can protect proprietary information or process with trade secret protections. These can include nondisclosure agreements and other protocols to prevent misappropriation. If an employee or vendor violates an agreement, we can help you enforce contractual obligations.
• Trademark and trade dress protections: Your brand communicates who you are to the marketplace and is essential to brand loyalty. If someone attempts to infringe upon your good reputation or product identifiers, we can help you hold them accountable.
• Copyrights: You can protect your creative works, including marketing campaigns, software and other authored content by registering for a copyright.
