Properly
managing and protecting intellectual property assets are critical to remaining
competitive in the modern marketplace. The attorneys of Barrett McNagny are
experienced in a wide array of intellectual property matters, encompassing
patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress, and trade secret issues. We pride ourselves
in helping clients obtain, protect, and enforce a competitive edge in the world
of ideas.
Patent
A patent grants
the patentee the right to forbid others from making, using, or selling the
patentee's novel invention. Patents and patent licenses are a powerful tool in
the quest to attain and hold a competitive edge in the technology marketplace. Jeremy
N. Gayed and Evan D. Weaks are licensed Patent Attorneys and can
represent clients before the U.S. Patent Office, including the filing and
prosecution of patent applications.
Copyright
Copyrights
protect specific expressions of ideas, such as software, photographs, music,
books, and videos. As software rights and licensing become increasingly
important aspects of maintaining a competitive edge, the nuances of copyright
law are becoming a vital part of the business decision-making process in many
industries. Our attorneys are experienced in copyright law, licensing, and
infringement litigation.
Trademarks
and Trade Dress
Protecting the
integrity of brands and business names can be every bit as important as
protecting physical assets. Trademark and trade dress law provide an avenue for
businesses to prohibit their competitors from taking improper advantage of
their well-known names and hard-earned reputations. Our attorneys are
experienced in trademark and trade dress law, including registration,
protection, enforcement, and infringement litigation.
Trade
Secrets
A core part of a
business's value is knowledge, especially knowledge that is not known to its
competitors. The importance of information security cannot be overstated. Trade
secrets protection helps prevent the disclosure of valuable information and
know-how. Our attorneys are experienced in maximizing trade secret protection
and, when necessary, using litigation to prevent unauthorized disclosures.
