We help creatives, entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations in a broad range of areas – from education, craft beverage and food, arts and entertainment, gaming, apparel and retail, to software and product innovation.
Companies and individuals look to us for legal counsel and business strategy for their intellectual property needs, including trademark, trade dress, trade secrets, patent, and copyright. We help clients identify their intellectual property rights, and take the needed steps to establish those interests, such as filing trademarks, recording copyrights and drafting contractual protections. We also diligently monitor our clients’ intellectual property interests to protect against infringement, unfair use, and other threats.
