New Jersey and New York Intellectual Property Lawyer
Trademark ° Copyright ° Patent
In today's business climate, the value of ideas is often greater than the value of any other property. Without the ability to protect the expression and implementation of its ideas, a business has little chance of success.
Contact Dunn Lambert, L.L.C., in Paramus, New Jersey, for direct business advice on ways to protect intellectual capital. Specifically, we counsel clients on the use of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret protection, licensing, and the use of restrictive covenants and other agreements to control the use of their ideas and intellectual property by third parties.
Intellectual Property Strategies for Businesses
Businesses use a variety of strategies to protect and profit from their intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, licensing, covenants restricting competition and the unauthorized disclosure of information, and trade secret laws. Without the proper intellectual property protection, competing businesses can copy your products or unfairly use your name with virtual impunity.
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Non-disclosure Agreements, Non-competition Agreements
The different intellectual property tools provide protection for varied types of ideas.
- Patents protect inventions and prohibit competitors from using the same or similar invention in another product.
- Trademarks protect the goodwill of the company's name, product, service, or other recognizable logo, design, or trade dress.
- Copyrights protect the expression of creative ideas, such as software, texts, pictures, music, paintings, and film.
- Licenses protect ownership rights in intellectual property such as software, trademarks, and proprietary products while at the same time permitting their commercialization.
- Non-disclosure agreements protect against the unauthorized use and disclosure of ideas and information to prevent their commercial use by another person or company.
- Non-compete agreements prevent an employee or other person or entity from operating a competing business within a certain geographical radius for a certain amount of time.
Develop a Comprehensive Intellectual Property Approach
A comprehensive intellectual property strategy will allow you to maximize the revenue generated from your intellectual property and ensure that no one else profits unfairly from your ideas.
