San Diego Intellectual Property Attorneys

Intellectual property (also known as “IP”) involves ownership rights of various types of creative works, inventions or other non-tangible property that a person or business creates. Depending on the particular kind of asset involved, this kind of property can help individuals obtain legal protection for their creations, provide a basis to form or grow a business, and open up the doors for potential profit generation and lucrative licensing opportunities.

Types of Intellectual Property

Intellectual property can be registered or protected through several different methods. Though there are many nuanced and highly relevant forms of protection, the primary “tripod” of IP consists of copyrights, trademarks and patents.

Legal protection can also be sought for the theft or forced disclosure of a business’s trade secrets, or privileged information that gives a business an economic advantage.

Our intellectual property lawyers have strong backgrounds the intersecting fields of business law and IP, and can help you identify and secure all of the different methods of IP protection that your business needs.

Importance of Protecting Your Assets

Businesses that do not legally protect their intellectual property risk significant financial and legal consequences. Those that fail to secure their property rights early on may lose potential revenue streams, be exposed to costly litigation to prevent wrongful use of their property, and in a worst case scenario, lose their property rights altogether to another person or business who happens to obtain legal registration first.

IP is a critical concern for most new and small businesses. Strong protection is especially important if you specialize in technology or employ workers who produce creative materials. It is essential to clarify ownership of materials that your employees produce and prevent employees from sharing valuable information with others.
