Practice Areas

Patents, copyright, and trademarks, for example, are legal protections that allow people to profit financially or gain fame from what they develop or manufacture. Learn about the many types of intellectual property and how to prevent being a victim of counterfeiting.

Copyright

Writers, artists, and inventors are all protected by copyright. Music, literature, films, computer software, poems, and architecture are all covered.

To ensure the protection of your creation, you should file for copyright after designing anything from a skyscraper to a book. It’s in your best interest to contact Uncommon Counsel for knowledgeable guidance on protecting your intellectual property.

Trademark

Brand names, taglines, and logos used on commodities are all protected by trademarks.

Here are a few common types of trademarks:

• Design marks, such as logos
•  Wordmarks, such as simple text names and slogans.
• Service marks, such as the titles of intangibles like ideas and music.

Licensing

You claim control of your patent, copyright, or trademark under an intellectual property license agreement. Nevertheless, for a price or commission, you grant third-party access to use one or more of your IP rights for a certain period.

Typically, termination dates and methods come under these intellectual property contracts. The three most prevalent are as follows:

• Sole License
• Exclusive License
• Non-Exclusive License

Counterfeiting

Counterfeiting and piracy commonly describe acts that violate intellectual property rights, such as acts carried out without the intellectual property right holder (for example, usage, manufacturing, or sale).
