Intellectual Property Law

Los Angeles, California Intellectual Property Attorney Practice Group

A company’s intellectual property may be just as valuable, if not more valuable, than any of its other assets. Trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are vital instruments to protect this asset and ensure the unique value of a business’ intellectual property. With thorough planning, steady enforcement, and timely filing, our Los Angeles intellectual property lawyer practice group is here to ensure that your intellectual property is safe and secure.

Trademarks
Our Los Angeles trademark attorneys will help you in choosing a trademark, registering your trademark and safeguarding your trademark from possible infringement.

First, our trademark attorneys can help you to choose the right trademark. A good trademark should not only be pleasant to you and your customers, but it also should be available in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) records. Once you have selected your desired trademark, our Los Angeles Trademark attorney practice group will register your mark with the USPTO. While the registration process can be confusing and filled with many rules and regulations, the experience and knowledge of our trademark attorneys will simplify the process and make all of the proper filings on your behalf.

For more information on registering your trademark and a free consultation, contact our Los Angeles trademark attorney practice group.

If your trademark is ever copied or otherwise infringed upon, our Los Angeles trademark litigation attorneys can bring an infringement lawsuit in both Federal and California courts to stop the infringer from the unauthorized use of your trademark on its products or services. We can assist you by preparing and sending cease and desist letters, seeking preliminary injunctions and other court orders to force the infringer to stop unauthorized use, and seeking a final judgment or arbitration order on your behalf.

Copyrights
By properly copyrighting your intellectual property, you can protect your literature, designs, music, websites, software, marketing documents, and many other recordable items. When you or your business creates an original work, the sooner you copyright, the higher the probability of protecting that item.

The most effective way to copyright is to register your copyrights within the first ninety (90) days from the first date of publication. By doing so, if you are ever forced to file a lawsuit to protect your copyright, you may receive up to $150,000 in damages per infringement. Also, if you are the prevailing party, you can recover your attorneys’ fees and costs if you register within such 90 day period.
