AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Is your intellectual property secured and protected?  How about your corporate name?

Intellectual Property



The advent of the internet has brought about a dramatic increase in the value of the intellectual property owned by businesses and with that the importance and need of protecting it.


Brand recognition, trademarks, patents and technology are all intangible assets of a company whose value often significantly exceeds the value of the tangible property possessed by a business.


In order to ensure adequate protection of these assets and be able to counsel clients in these areas, lawyers need to not only comprehend the underlying legal issues that relate to intellectual property but understand the technology itself.


Not only does our firm possess the experience and expertise to assist our clients in legal matters concerning intellectual property but we also understand technology and make it a point of staying at the forefront of this technology.


We assist and counsel our clients in all legal matters relating to copyright, trademarks, trade secrets, industrial designs and patents. We have experience in drafting, negotiating and if need be, litigating, in the area of technology including software, internet, electronics and other cutting edge areas.


We regularly review, draft and negotiate franchise and distribution agreements and advise our clients in matters pertaining to the licensing of brands, products and technology.
