Comprehensive IP Protection for Capital Region Innovators

Your business's greatest assets often aren't physical, they're the ideas, processes, brands, and innovations that make you competitive. Protecting these intellectual property assets is essential for maintaining market advantage and maximizing business value. Whether you're developing new technology, building a recognizable brand, creating software or content, or maintaining proprietary processes, you need experienced IP counsel to protect your interests. Our attorneys help Capital Region businesses develop comprehensive IP strategies aligned with their business goals.

We provide full-spectrum IP services including trademark development and protection, patent strategy, copyright protection, trade secret safeguarding, IP documentation, and enforcement against infringers. For trademarks, we conduct comprehensive search and analysis, guide you through federal and state registration, and help you maintain and enforce your marks. For patents, we work with patent agents to evaluate patentability, develop patent strategy, and pursue protection for your innovations. We help you document intellectual property ownership through assignment agreements, work-for-hire agreements, and invention disclosure procedures. We negotiate IP provisions in employment agreements, contractor agreements, and vendor contracts to ensure your company owns valuable IP created in connection with your business. When your IP is infringed, we assess your options and aggressively enforce your rights through demand letters, negotiation, and litigation if necessary. We also help you navigate IP due diligence when buying or selling businesses.
