Intellectual Property

Intellectual property refers to any creation of the mind for which property rights can be recognized. Most people think of intellectual property in terms of artistic works such as music and literature. Intellectual property can also refer to things like words, phrases, discoveries, inventions, and symbols.

Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Intellectual property can be protected by trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and industrial design rights. If your intellectual property has been stolen or used without your permission, our copyright infringement attorneys can help you reclaim your property and recover from your damages.

Intellectual property can be as economically beneficial as tangible property. Some economists estimate that roughly two-thirds of the value of large businesses and corporations is due to intellectual property. This economic benefit makes protecting your intellectual property very important. However, unlike tangible property, proving intellectual property rights can be very difficult.

Proving Your Property Rights

With music, literature, or works of art, physical records can help prove rights. It is more difficult to prove rights to things such as words, discoveries, and ideas. Copyrights and patents are essential to protecting your rights under intellectual property law. The attorneys at Guerra & Moore are ready to litigate these cases to ensure your property is preserved and your economic benefits are protected.

Fair use allows for some exception to the use of copyrighted material. When used in satire, news reports, or commentary, portions of your copyrighted materials can legally be used by others. We can help you determine if the use of your intellectual property falls under fair use law. We will investigate your claim to help prove damages have been done and your rights to your property are restored.
