What Do Intellectual Property Lawyers Help Clients Protect?
Intellectual property lawyers help clients protect their trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. Intellectual property law is a highly specialized area of law that requires an understanding of the different types of intellectual property laws as well as knowledge of the different types of businesses and industries.
Intellectual property lawyers understand how these laws affect a company’s bottom line, the potential for growth and competitiveness in their industry. They help companies protect their intellectual property and extract compensation from those who infringe on it.
A company can make an enormous amount of money from its intellectual property, but only if the owner takes steps to legally protect it. The lawyer will find out what intellectual property the company has and help them document it. The lawyer will also work to protect those rights from infringement.
Why Are IP Lawyers Important?
Intellectual property lawyers are important because they can help protect the creative works of an individual or company. These legal professionals may deal with intellectual property litigation, licensing agreements, and other forms of IP law.
What Is Involved In Intellectual Property Law?
Intellectual property law can be an extremely complicated area of the law. There are numerous types of intellectual property, and each is afforded different protections under the law. Intellectual property also intersects with other areas of law, such as contracts and torts.
If you are faced with a legal matter relating to intellectual property, it is important to consult an attorney who understands the complexities of this area of law.
Intellectual Property Litigation Services:
Patent Litigation
Patent litigation is a type of intellectual property litigation that involves the unauthorized use of an invention. In patent infringement cases, one party claims ownership to a particular patented device or method, and another party is accused of infringing that patented device or method.
Patent litigation is often the most expensive type of intellectual property litigation, due to the high cost of attorneys, experts, and discovery. Patent infringement cases are often brought by inventors or patent holders. They want the court to stop the unauthorized use of their invention and award damages for any harm they have suffered due to infringing activity.
Trademark Litigation
Trademark litigation is the most common type of Intellectual Property Litigation. It can be used to enforce or defend exclusive rights in a trademark, service mark or trade dress. The primary goal of trademark litigation is to obtain a court order that will stop the infringing party from using the mark.
Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses an identical or similar word, symbol, design, or sound in a way that would confuse customers, without the permission of the trademark owner.
Copyright Litigation
Copyright litigation can protect the creator of a work from unauthorized copying, distribution, and other uses that infringe on its exclusive rights. In some instances, copyright may also provide moral or material remuneration.
Trade Secret Litigation
Trade secret litigation is the act of protecting ideas for profit. The person who comes up with an idea, like a formula for soap or even the design to make it look good, can be entitled to a patent for those ideas.
A trade secret can be anything from the design of a piece of furniture to the recipe for making your favorite cake. The best way to protect these types of secrets is to keep them a secret.
Right of Publicity Litigation
The right of publicity broadly protects the commercial use of a person’s name, likeness, or identity. In particular, this law prevents others from using your name and other personal attributes to endorse products or services without your consent.
The right of publicity is a state law, but it falls under the umbrella of intellectual property rights and often overlaps with trademark and copyright infringement claims. The right applies to the use of a person’s name, voice, or likeness to advertise other products.
Database Protection and Screen Scraping
The Database Protection and Screen Scraping Subheading of the Intellectual Property Litigation Services category is dedicated to aiding your business in protecting its databases from intellectual property theft. A company’s database may contain intellectual property such as customer records, financial information, and product inventories. Unlawful access to these databases may cause economic injury to the company by resulting in a loss of trade secrets or other confidential and proprietary information.
Data Privacy, Security Breach, and TCPA Class Action Litigation
The use of data privacy, security breach, and TCPA class action litigation services is a practice that has been in existence for decades. Data breaches have become the most important threat to our individual rights. The FTC reports that there is a data breach every two seconds. With the increased reliance on technology, hackers are able to steal information from our personal computers and networks with greater ease than ever before.
International Trade Commission’s Section 337 Litigation
The International Trade Commission (ITC) is an independent federal agency that regulates international trade. The ICT’s Section 337 Litigation service provides representation to U.S.-based companies who feel their patents are being infringed upon by imports. The ITC’s Section 337 Litigation service ensures that U.S.-based companies are protected from unfair competition, which could ultimately harm their business and livelihood.
