Your Intellectual Property Lawyer Understands the Evolving IP Law Environment

Business law in general is complex, but intellectual property cases can be among the most complex. Your intellectual property attorney has to stay on top of an ever-changing landscape of case law and rulings. The advent of the internet has made intellectual property law more complex than it used to be, often crossing international borders and involving very specific legal concepts. At Zarco Einhorn Salkowski & Brito, P.A. we have the expertise to address these challenges.

Protecting Your Copyrights, Trademarks, and Patents

Whether you write software, do graphic design, or invent products, it is critical that you protect your intellectual property from the start. If you are starting your own business, meeting with an intellectual property attorney is a good investment. He or she can advise you on how to go about protecting copyrights, trademarks, or patents at every step of the creative process.

Helping You Avoid Intellectual Property Law Violations

If you import products from overseas, you can still be subject to United States intellectual property laws. For example, a 2011 Federal Circuit Court ruling declared that importing products that were made using U.S. intellectual property and manufactured using misappropriated trade secrets is illegal, even though the manufacturing took place entirely in another country. Your intellectual property lawyer can help you avoid such situations.

Understanding Intellectual Property in Franchise Law

Franchise law and trademark law often meet up because of the prominent place that trademarks take in franchise sales. If you are interested in buying a franchise or selling one, make sure your lawyer has a keen understanding of how trademark and intellectual property law in general affect the franchising process and disputes that can arise between franchisors and franchisees.

The Time to Meet an Intellectual Property Lawyer Is Before You Need One

If you as an individual or your company deal with intellectual property, you're smart to speak with an attorney specializing in intellectual property sooner rather than later. At Zarco Einhorn Salkowski & Brito, P.A., we have the experience necessary to help you protect your intellectual property and avoid violating intellectual property laws.
