What should your company do to establish and protect your brand(s) and the creative works of your team? The Watkins Firm has decades of experience helping clients with registering and protecting intellectual property and original works. Intellectual property or IP is an original creation of the human intellect relative to the positioning or establishment of your corporate brand, logo, taglines and primary messages. Intellectual property also extends to original works such as videos, written content, drawings and designs. Your intellectual property is one of the most valuable assets of your company and it is important to ensure you are properly registering and protecting intellectual property and monitoring against infringement.
The Watkins Firm provides comprehensive intellectual property services including but not limited to:
- Copyrights
- Patents
- Trademarks
- Infringement Defense
Once intellectual property is registered you must protect against infringement in order to preserve the ability to maintain the copyright or trademark. Infringement is the unauthorized use of intellectual property “on or in connection with goods and/or services” in order to confuse potential buyers, create a deception or lead the buyer to mistake them for your original property.
The Watkins Firm is fully prepared to file a civil lawsuit to put a stop to intellectual property infringement. Remedies for infringement can include:
- Seeking a court order to put an immediate stop to the infringement
- Seeking a court order to destroy any product or unlicensed materials
- Financial damages including the profits the infringement has generated for the violating party, as well as the cost of the legal action and associated damages
- Seeking an order for the defendant to pay your legal fees in the lawsuit
