Intellectual property organization service

Let an experienced intellectual property lawyer advise you on the best course of action. I call this walking the “intellectual property minefield.” There is a vast web of intellectual property rules that many entrepreneurs are unaware of. Infringing on the intellectual property rights of competitors can be a very costly mistake. I can provide an organization and strategy to your intellectual property. I am familiar with the common pitfalls that entrepreneurs and inventors fall into when they want to launch their business idea around particular goods and services. I have many businesses and inventors lack a comprehensive intellectual property strategy and the result can be costly down the road. Although I’m based in NYC, I assist clients and businesses from all around the United States. The laws for patent protection, trademark protection, and copyright protection are similar throughout the United States.

Patent protection

Do you need a design patent or utility patent? Do you know the difference? When should you file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office? Alternatively, you might want to stay clear of patents altogether and rely solely on trade secret secrets. My patent protection legal services include drafting patent applications and filing them with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I can help you devise a patent protection strategy that is tailored to your business needs. Is your invention idea ready for a patent? Let an experienced patent attorney help you with the process. Fairchild Law is among the top patent service providers for individuals or entrepreneurs who need patent protection. We have experience with the patent process and can save you time and money. Can you obtain a patent? Getting a patent in an investment in both time and money. You need a patent attorney who can provide the optimal intellectual property strategy based on your budget and timeframe. Our intellectual property legal services include conducting a patent search to determine the scope of the prior art. I can only help you get a United States Patent. If you want a patent in another country, then you will need to talk to an intellectual property attorney in that country. Also, there are no international patents – but there are international patent applications. Those are just paper-sharing agreements.

Patent litigation

Got a patent? Want to sue on it? Or have you been accused of violating someone’s patent rights? There are a lot of nuances to patent litigation and you will need a professional to guide you through it. I will ask the right questions and will want to see the patent’s history with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The record at the US Patent and Trademark Office is usually a hidden goldmine of data which affects the patent litigation. You will need a patent litigation professional to take a look at the patent records, the issued patent, and the goods or services that are accused of infringing a patent.

Copyright Registration

This is sometimes that quickest, cheapest, and fastest way to start an intellectual property portfolio. I’ll ask the right questions – what you intend to do with the copyright registration to guide you through the intellectual property minefield.

Copyright Infringement

Got a copyright? Want to sue on it? Or, have you been accused of violating someone’s copyright protections? There are a lot of nuances to this. These include implied license or work-for-hire situations and oftentimes overlap with breach of contract scenarios.

Trademark Registration

This is a bit longer and more expensive than Copyright registration, but it might be a necessary part of your intellectual property portfolio. Your business has a brand. Your goods and services reflect this brand. If you have not decided on a trademark yet, we can collaborate together to decide the strongest mark for your brand. My legal services can include advice on your website to help develop in a way to strengthen the use of your mark on your website. Sometimes, you need to do that before investing in the cost of filing a trademark application with the United States Patent & Trademark office.

Trademark Infringement

Got a trademark? Want to sue on it? Or, have you been accused of violating someone’s trademark? Your business has a brand and you need to protect it. These cases usually start with cease & desist letters, but sometimes escalate to actual litigation. It’s always recommended to talk to an intellectual property attorney to determine if your goods and services might infringe on the trademark of a competitor. The last thing that you want is to lose your inventory because it contains someone else’s trade name. That could be a very costly mistake and best way to prevent it – get legal advice from an experienced intellectual property attorney before investing too much in your business.

Trade Secret Protection

Every business has secrets and needs to protect them. Protecting your trade secrets is a crucial. Got a trade secret? Want to sue on it? Or, have you been accused of violating someone’s trade secret? The best way to protect them is to be proactive with maintaining the secrecy. You will need contracts and an intellectual property attorney to draft or review them.
