Intellectual Property

With the exception of limited automatic protections for copyrights, the law does not provide automatic legal protections for your intellectual property. In fact, the opposite is true; without vigorous assertion of your rights, it is possible to lose that right. The Overton Law Firm, P.C. can help you obtain and protect your intellectual property rights.

Intellectual property rights include:

• Patents
• Copyrights
• Trademarks
• Trade secrets

Specifically, we provide services related to:

• Patent prosecution
• Copyright registrations
• Trademark registrations
• Licensing of your intellectual property rights
• Litigation, including patent and trade secret litigation

The method selected to protect intellectual property must be tailor fitted to your needs. Often, more than one method of protection should be sought to fully protect your property. Therefore, we will consider your invention, creative work, commercial product, or service and then suggest the available protections. We can also help you to create a commercial development plan for your intellectual property, which can be essential in determining the best course of action to take. Finally, to execute your commercial development plan, we can help you select and form the necessary business entities, such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or corporations.
