Intellectual Property

Do you need a copyright, trademark, or to protect your trade secrets? The Law Offices of Adam M. Leach can help.

Intellectual property describes the valuable rights established as a result of creative human thought. These rights include copyrights, trade secrets, the personal right of publicity, trademarks, and patents. If you need legal help securing, protecting, or enforcing your intellectual property rights, you do not have to fight alone. The Law Offices of Adam M. Leach can help you protect your intellectual property assets.

Copyrights protect the tangible original expression of ideas such as musical, literary, dramatic, and artistic works. This also includes original software source code. A copyright owner has the exclusive right to reproduce the work, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, and publicly display and/or perform the work. Though a copyright exists when the work is created, registering a copyright provides additional protection in case of copyright infringement, including the right to enforce the copyright in court, receive statutory damages, and recover attorney’s fees and costs.

The Law Offices of Adam M. Leach is able to represent clients ranging from free-lance authors, to software developers, to book authors whose works have been infringed. We can assist you with cease and desist letters, negotiated solutions, as well as filing suit to stop copyright infringement. We can also help you navigate the virtual world intellectual property rules and rights.

Trade secrets are formulas, patterns, devices or compilations of information used in business but kept secret that creates an advantage over competitors who do not know the trade secret. Because they are so critical, trade secrets usually are protected by confidentiality agreements and internal controls.

If you have a trade secret that has been taken, we can help you enforce your right to protection from unauthorized disclosure. If your company maintains trade secrets, we can protect these valuable assets aggressively but with our focus on your financial bottom line.

Trademarks include any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one manufacturer or seller from goods manufactured or sold by others, and to indicate the source of the goods.

If you need a Trademark or have a Trademark being misappropriated, or any other type of Trademark dispute, call The Law Offices of Adam M. Leach so that we can discuss your options.
