IP & Brand Protection
Your brand, your technology, and your content may be your most valuable business assets. We help you identify, protect, and enforce your intellectual property rights.
For most modern businesses — especially technology companies, creative agencies, and consumer brands — intellectual property is the core asset. A brand that can't be protected is a brand that can be copied. Software that isn't properly owned by the company creates existential risk. Trade secrets that aren't managed carefully are secrets no more. We help businesses build and defend their IP from day one.
Trademark Registration & Brand Protection
A federal trademark registration with the USPTO gives you nationwide priority in your brand name, logo, and tagline. We conduct trademark clearance searches, prepare and file trademark applications, respond to USPTO office actions, and help enforce your trademark rights against infringers. We also advise on international trademark strategy for companies expanding globally.
IP Ownership & Assignment
One of the most common and dangerous oversights in early-stage companies is failing to ensure that IP created by founders, employees, and contractors is properly assigned to the company. Under the default rules, individual creators often own what they create — even if they were paid by the company. We implement IP assignment agreements, inventions assignment clauses, and work-for-hire frameworks that ensure your company owns what it needs to own.
Trade Secrets & Confidentiality
Trade secrets — proprietary formulas, algorithms, customer lists, pricing strategies, and technical know-how — are protected under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and Louisiana law, but only if you take reasonable steps to maintain their secrecy. We help companies implement trade secret protection programs, including NDA protocols, access controls, and employment agreement provisions.
Copyright & Licensing
Copyright protects original creative works — software code, written content, visual art, music, and more — automatically upon creation. But registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is required to sue for infringement and to recover statutory damages. We handle copyright registration and advise on licensing strategies that allow businesses to monetize their creative output.
