In today’s competitive marketplace, Trademarks play an essential role in separating you from the competition and differentiating your goods or services from your competitor. They are among a company’s most valuable and affordable intellectual property assets. Your brand is what the purchasing public remembers; your trademark is what represents your brand. 

You may be asking yourself what the difference is between a trademark, patent, and copyright. A trademark protects a brand; a patent protects an invention; and a copyright protects artistic and literary works.

Copyright protection generally lasts for seventy years and protects the original expression of an idea, whether artistic, literary, commercial or otherwise. It is used to protect original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium of expression.

If you are an artist, author, musician, software writer, business owner or web designer you may be continuously producing new work or new versions of your original work. Our firm can assist you with all of your copyright needs. It is important to form a relationship with a attorney who you can trust with all of your valuable work, throughout your entire career.
