Intellectual property

The term Intellectual Property generically describes those intangible property rights—those you usually cannot see or touch—which are initially created by one's intellectual creative efforts. The results of those intellectual efforts, in most cases, are then anointed with these intangible property rights which give their creator or owner the exclusive ability to control, and profit from, the results of this creativity.

"Intellectual Property Law" is that field of law which defines those intellectual creations that are entitled to protection as intellectual property, how to obtain (or lose) those intellectual property rights, how to properly use and benefit from those rights, and how to obtain enforcement and compensation when those intellectual property rights are infringed upon by a competitor or other person / entity. Intellectual property law also provides guidance to a competitor who desires to produce a new product or use a new process by designing around, and thus avoiding, the proprietary territory defined by your intellectual property rights.

Our firm offers a full range of legal services relating to intellectual property. As a matter of fact our Intellectual Property Group handles all matters in connection with intellectual property. The Intellectual Property Group is committed to providing high quality legal counsel to technology driven clients.
