Patent law is a type of intellectual property law that deals with how to legally protect new inventions. There are many different types of patent applications to choose from but each has its advantages and disadvantages. A Patent attorney is best suited to assist with these types of applications.

Provisional patent application: This is a type of patent application that can establish your priority filing date with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This type of application is usually followed by a utility patent.

Non-provisional patent application: This is a type of patent application that is examined by the USPTO to ensure it is useful, novel, and non-obvious. This application goes through a rigorous USPTO review. 

Design Patent Application: This is a patent granted by the USPTO that protects the way an invention looks.

Patent Portfolio Management: This is a type of business strategy that can be used to determine the strengths of a business’s intellectual property rights.

TRADEMARK LAW

• Our Services include Trademark Preparation, Registration, prosecution and more.

Why is Federal Registration important for your business?

Trademarks and Servicemarks are a type of intellectual property law. Trademarks identify a product from a specific company. A servicemark identifies the service from a particular company. As a business, entrepreneur, or start-up, protecting your brand through Federal Trademark (or Servicemark) registration at the United States Patent Office (USPTO) is important.

Federal registration of Trademarks or Service marks with the USPTO helps to protect your company brand as well as give notice to the public that the registered company or person owns the mark. The legal presumption is the registered owner of the mark has the exclusive right to use the mark as long as it is used in connection with goods or services.

Trademark and Servicemark owners should continue to use their marks to preserve their registration rights.

Improper licensing or improper assignment of Trademark or Servicemark can result in the loss of the registered owner's rights.

When it comes to intellectual property law, it is best to work with a licensed attorney to assist you with your legal needs.

The first step is to apply for registration. JACKSONE PLLC  Attorney can help you file your Federal Trademark or Servicemark application. Flat fee options are available to clients. Contact us for more information.

LICENSING & ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENTS

• We can assist you with patent counseling, drafting, filing, prosecution including office actions, appeals and more.

You are a small biz or start-up and you have a Utility Patent, Design patent Trademark or ServiceMark issued by the United States Patent Office (USPTO). It can be challenging to manufacture, market and sell your product independently. The alternative is licensing the invention and receiving money in return. Licensing, as opposed to complete transfer or assignment of intellectual property, provides the owner with advantages such as retaining the title and collecting fees or royalties.

There are different types of licenses available.

Exclusive License: If an owner grants an exclusive license to a company, the right to use the intellectual property transfers from the owner to the company granted the right. Only the company granted the right can use the intellectual property for the time that is agreed upon in the licensing agreement. The owner will lose their legal right to use their intellectual property until the agreement expires.

Non-Exclusive License: When an owner grants a non-exclusive license to a company, the owner can also use their intellectual property based on the licensing agreement. In this type of licensing agreement, multiple companies can be granted non-exclusive rights to use the same intellectual property.

Sole License: Where an owner grants a company a sole license, the owner, and the company both have the right to use the intellectual property. This type of licensing agreement works differently from non-exclusive or exclusive licenses.

COPYRIGHT LAW

• We can assist you with your Copyright Registration, enforcement of rights and more.

Copyright registration is important to enforce rights on your work. Registering a copyright within three months of your work’s publication provides advantages by creating a presumption that your copyright is valid. This allows the copyright owner to recover certain damages from the copyright infringer. 

If it has been three months since the publication of your work, you should still register your copyright to enforce your rights.

The owner of a copyright can transfer rights through legal agreements such as a copyright license or an assignment. License agreements allow a copyright owner to retain their rights while giving someone else the right to exercise some of them. A copyright assignment causes the owner of the copyright to lose some control over their work.
