Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property (IP) counsel is something that we believe every business should obtain. At Halverson Law, we advise on trademarks, copyrights, patents, licensing, and brand asset transactions. Our dedicated team of corporate and intellectual property transaction attorneys coordinate efforts to help clients keep and grow their business by protecting their IP rights.
This expertise includes trademark and brand related deals involving finance, mergers & acquisitions, licensing, assignments, coexistence & concurrent use agreement, and joint ventures—to name a few.
Trademarks
Protecting your unique branding can be a valuable part of your business strategy. Once you are ready to protect your business’ brand, our team is here to guide you. We work with businesses to obtain state and federal registration for intellectual property marks. Moreover, our goal is to walk you through the process from start to finish. This hands-on approach will keep you informed every step of the way.
Copyrights
At Halverson Law, our attorneys are ready to help your business protect your unique creative expressions. This includes literary, musical, graphical, pictorial, or digital works through federal copyright registration. Copyright registration allows an author or artist to protect their work for a period of life plus 70 years, in order to defend against infringement and misappropriation, among other remedies.
Patents
In addition to trademarks and copyright protections, our legal team is here to advise on patentability. Moreover, we will help your business develop a patent strategy to protect and monetize your inventions. Our services include preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications. Once granted, utility patents provide 20 years from filing of exclusive rights in the US. Design patents and plant patents are also available. At Halverson Law, our IP attorneys can file patent applications with the USPTO and continue representing your interests throughout the patent prosecution process.
Intellectual Property Litigation
Sometimes a trademark or other IP asset becomes threatened, and it may be necessary to utilize the court systems at the federal and administrative levels for protection. We do not jump to litigation, but rather, we work closely with you to resolve IP disputes in a manner that meets your needs. When litigation is required, our record of successful representation speaks for itself.
