FAQs About Intellectual Property
What qualifies as intellectual property?
Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, including inventions, designs, logos, brand names, literary or artistic works, and proprietary processes or software. These assets can be legally protected through copyright, trademarks, design rights, and patents.
How can I protect my IP?
We draft tailored agreements to protect unregistered rights and work with Patent and Trademark attorneys to help you register eligible assets with the appropriate intellectual property offices. We also conduct IP audits to help you manage your assets strategically.
How can my business benefit financially from IP?
Your IP can generate income through licensing and royalty arrangements, franchising, joint ventures or outright sale. We can advise on structuring these agreements to ensure they align with your business goals and protect your rights.
What if someone is using my IP without permission?
Our team will assess the situation, establish whether your rights are being infringed, and advise on the best course of action. This could involve cease-and-desist letters, negotiated settlements, or legal proceedings.
What should I do if I’m accused of IP infringement?
Do not respond without seeking legal advice. We will review the claim, advise on its validity and represent your interests to resolve the matter efficiently and cost-effectively.
